Pros:

Rummet var trevligt. Nära buss och tåg.

Cons:

Städningen av toalett och kök. Väldigt ingrodd smuts av att det inte blivit städat ordentligt på länge. Slarvigt städat.

Would never stay here again and don’t recommend. Property owners should find another business
Pros:

Decent location, good parking.

Cons:

Bathroom shower not clean, nor was tub. No tub drain-I ended up buying cleaning supplies to clean tub and used towel to plug drain. The smoke detector battery in my room and hallway was chirping and I immediately notified property which messaged that they escalated it emergently after suggesting I take battery out!! When I got home from work next day-still chirping, messaged again same response-they did nothing about it. I’m checking out 2DAYS later and still chirping-guess they don’t care about guests comfort or safety. I bought earplugs to be able to sleep. Supposed 9 pm quiet time apparently didn’t apply to other guests-very loud until midnight first night. WiFi also didn’t work. Horrible experience. As a frequent traveler and Airbnb property owner I DO NOT recommend this place.

Cons:

There are no hairdryer, the washing machine is extremely dirty, and there's an even dirtier ironing board which is basically unusable.

Could have been good, wasn't quite.
Cons:

I would advise having cleaners come more often. The shower and kitchen stove were really bad.
Also the electronic lock on the room door would not lock from the outside so the room was unsecure any time I left. I have the same locks on my office so know the sequence but out of desperation also tried alternatives, no luck.
One of the other door locks in the apartment was beeping all night long for the 2nd and 3rd nights.
The bedroom windows would not close entirely leaving the room quite cold and no extra blankets.
Perhaps not under management control but on the 3rd night one of the other guests opted to play loud music from 1AM to 3AM.

Horrible! If there has been any place else we would have never checked in, especially after our first room was not ready
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Filthy and unsanitary! There was (pubic?) hair and mold in the bathrooms that was not cleaned for 3 days even after management was notified. All seating surfaces in common areas are stained. There is no property maintenance!!

Big apartament with huge bathroom
Pros:

Duzy apartament z duza lazienka. W laziencw byla wanna i osobno prysznic. Zadbany i funkcjonalny. Bardzo domowy.

Cons:

Kuchnia troszke zaniedbana przez innych mieszkancow ale za ta cene nie moge narzekac. Apartament byl o 400 euro tanszy (za 3 dni) niz pokoj w centrum wiec za ta roznice moge sama posprzatac :)

Bedroom door was wide open, light was on, and there was an opened bottle of water on the shelf. There was trash on the f
Pros:

The staff seems friendly and responded to emails in a timely manner.

Cons:

I was unaware until the day of check in that other people were renting rooms in the same unit. If I knew this I would have chosen a different property. I read and reread the page and didn’t see anything that would lead me to think that.
One person kept turning the heat on and it was 80° or warmer in the unit the entire stay. I tried to open the windows in my room to cool it off but they only opened a few inches. It was quite miserable.
The apartment severely needs a deep clean. The walls are filthy and the floors need to be mopped. Pictures make the unit look much different than it really is.
