Liked: Communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
The apartment had a good bed, but room furnishings (sideboard and drawers) were shoddy and the drawers difficult to open. The Nespresso machine was much appreciated. There was inadequate bench space, however, so it was kept up on a shelf above the microwave, where it couldn't be used without relocating. In such a tight space there is a risk of fire from an item being accidentally placed on a hot element, as a previous guest must have discovered from the melted plastic chopping board.Cleanliness overall was okay, but the toilet bowl was stained (and easily cleanable). Two of the drawers in the sideboard were full of unwanted stuff from previous guests, so we lived partially from our suitcases. These should be cleaned out of all but essentials.
