Hyvää: Siisteys ja majoituspaikan kunto ja tilat
First, the positives….. 1) The apartment was really large, airy with high ceiling, spotlessly clean, with solid furnishings and nearly brand-new appliances. A bargain for the price. 2) The location is really convenient; you can walk to the Old City in 20 minutes (or Uber in 5 min). 3) The Metro Plus supermarket, literally a 2-min walk, is a full-sized supermarket, not a convenience store. A pharmacy is the other way, equally close. Some cafes and a restaurant are within a few minutes stroll. 4) It felt a safe neighborhood; you will find homeless people, but they won’t bother you.
Now, the negatives ….. 1) Their website says we can check in earlier for a fee, if the room is ready. We wanted to check in at 2 PM instead of 4PM. We text chatted in advance and they confirmed it. Asked us to email and call the day of travel. We did both. They said call after you have landed and they’d check to see if the room is ready. We did. Now the desk person completely denied that such a thing is possible, and said they have no way of contacting the cleaning staff. She was rude and wouldn’t listen to our backstory. Anyway, this cost us some difficulties and some loss.
2) The wifi is quite weak— when it is on, that is. Frequently, it is off; …. when it happened repeatedly, we gave up and used our phone’s hotspot. The problem is, the TV doesn’t work without the wifi either (Netflix, Prime, ..). The remote won’t work for a few hours and will spring to life at some point.
