Did not meet basic standards
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Worst accommodation experience ever.

Extremely dirty and poorly maintained: filthy entrance, stained and musty bed linen, unfinished toilet, dirty walls and a broken shower.

Sleeping was nearly impossible due to a sagging mattress and loud heating noise all night. I also had serious safety concerns.

I left after one night despite booking three. I do not understand the 7.8 rating. Avoid

Nie wieder!!!
Cons:

Waschbecken und Dusche verstopft, beim Duschen lief das Wasser über. Im WC kein Wasser im Waschbecken. Extrem kleines Zimmer (ca.5 qm) und zwei Betten, kaum Bewegungsfreiheit, geschweige Platz für Gepäck. Defekter Schrank ohne Tür mit loser Rückwand der zu kippen drohte. Im Bad keine Abstellmöglichkeiten für Kosmetika, Laminatfußboden schon vom Wasser augeweicht.
Extrem schmalle und steile Treppen im Haus. Insgesamt ein ungepflegter Eindruck. Müll im Treppenhaus stand über mehrere Tage. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt abgebrochen.

Tańsza opcja na krótki pobyt
Pros:

Łatwe zameldowanie i wymeldowanie z obiektu. Właściciel bardzo responsywny i chętny do pomocy. Blisko do plaży, do tramwaju, do sklepów, praktycznie do wszystkiego.

Cons:

Można by przykładać większą wagę do sprzątania w aneksie kuchennym. Prysznic we współdzielonej łazience był po prostu źle zamontowany, przez co woda cały czas stała w brodziku, kąpanie się w takich warunkach jest niehigieniczne.
