Considering the price and the great location, it was very good as a solo traveller.
Kitchen, bathroom and the small room are totally fine, the bathtub is a plus.
Friendly communication in English.Hanna from Ukraine (9/10)
Amazing option for this price. Not only cozy but stilish and very comfortable. The room is was warm, kitchen is full of everything needed for cooking, perfect location in the city center.
Lidia from Ireland (9/10)
Bedroom was clean and tidy, location was excellent.
Wille from Finland (9/10)
Excellent location. The best check-in instructions so far – why don't other places do it like this.
Didn't feel like a hostel, even though the bathroom was shared.Brett from Hong Kong (9/10)
Most things are great! The host is very helpful during my stay. All the messages have been replied very soon with useful info (e.g., wifi password and the use of washing machine). The two-person bed room is spacey and cosy. I can also cook my dinner there.
I feel it would be much better if there are photos showing all the lockers on gates/doors with their corresponding passwords. It took me some time on the first day to get the key. I can imagine for people who arrive in the evening may get nervous for this key hunt exercise. Also, it should be careful if you find you cannot enter the building with the gate locked–it happened to me one evening. The electronic lock at the entrance of the building was not in order due to some reasons. I waited 20 more minutes for a neighbor came out the building.Raul from United Kingdom (9/10)
Location is excellent, the room and kitchen were clean and tidy, the staff was very helpful

Maryssa from Seychelles (4/10)
The location to reach the apartment is quite complicated and it requires effort in order to reach the apartment. If you are tourist I do not recommend especially if you have big laugage which I did. The shared facilities was off putting and frankly o was hesitant to use it.
Alioscia from United Kingdom (5/10)
The room was small, but is very central and the bed comfortable, there was an extra cover in case it would get cold, and a small table in case one would want to work. also an hanger for one's clothes.
