Pros:

Très bon emplacement. Chambre propre et confortable et on nous a permis de prendre la chambre un peu plus tôt: nous arrivions en moto sous la pluie. C'était donc très appréciable et gentil! La machine à laver en accès libre a été un vrai plus pour nous

Quartier calme et résidentiel.

Matelas très inconfortables, les autres locataires étaient désagréables et bruyants et les parties communes de la maison étaient sales.

You get what you pay for - this is fine.
Pros:

Centrally located, not too hard to find even in the dark. Facilities as described, everything adequate. Good heater, everything was clean, there were only 4 rooms in total (3 occupied including mine) so sharing the one bathroom wasn't a problem.

Cons:

One bed was lovely - fairly firm and comfortable. The other was more like a camp bed - very rickety. All pillows were very thin.

Pros:

Great value for money, had all the facilities available. Great location, easy to get everywhere from. Tidy and comfortable. It had security on the bedroom doors, which was great for me and my seven year old, but everyone else staying there were lovely young people.

Cons:

The shower took a bit to work out and maybe temperature control was a bit hard if someone was in the kitchen.

AVOID AT ALL COST
Pros:

Clean room.

Cons:

The house I booked has misleading photos and explanation. As soon as I arrived in the neighborhood (next to a factory area, on a narrow street with parking that you need to climb onto the sidewalk) I tried to find the house. There was no house that looked like the one in the pictures, no indication that it was a house was listed on Booking. On the contrary, a small old house with a huge sign in front “For sale”. I had to ask a neighbor to confirm that it was that. As soon as I entered, I realized that it is a normal house, with rooms like a flatshare, that you share with strangers. Clean, but old. The kitchen is small and dark. Outdated. I left directly and asked for a refund, but the owner declined directly, saying “already checked in”. I lost 40€, plus the money i had to spent last minute to book somewhere else.
False description and photos. No idea why it’s allowed on the platform. AVOID AT ALL COST

Nicht mal geschenkt...
Pros:

Unkomplizierter Check-In durch Zahlencode an Tür.

Cons:

Im Endeffekt handelt es sich um ein Haus welches zum Verkauf steht. Um in der Übergangszeit Kohle zu machen, werden die vorhandenen 3 Schlafzimmer vermietet. Der Vermieter oder Anbieter macht in dem Haus nur das nötigste. Gast geht, Bettwäsche wird gewechselt, Müll wird geleert und dann war's das auch. Das Badezimmer und die Küche sind ekelhaft. Hier bedarf es einer Grundreinigung. Ich hab die Küche nicht einmal genutzt, nachdem ich das Inventar gesehen habe. Die Flecken im Badezimmer auf den Teppichen waren ekelhaft. 🤢In meinem Zimmer waren Spinnenweben und ekelhafte Spinnen an den Fenstern (nicht erst von vor einer Woche). Die Handtücher und Bettwäsche haben gemüffelt. Je länger der Aufenthalt desto mehr kam ich mir wie in der Rocky Horror Show vor..
