  : Nice location, close to many restaurants/coffee shops.
  : The apartment did not match the actual pictures from the booking. The building was under construction, therefore it was quite loud during that time. The nearby street is also busy, so at night time, you can hear cars/sirens going around as well.

  : great central location and safe. 4 bedrooms
  : washer was very tiny and no dryer so its a little difficult with a large family. The bathroom was old and had a bit of a funk. Over all it didnt look anything like the pictures and the living room was small. wifi didnt reach the back bedroom so difficult to work.

  : The apt is located in a very nice area full of options to drink/eat and can be reached easily by car/foot/train. We didnt use the metro station a lot so I dont know how convenient it is. The apt was well equipped and the many rooms were very convenient for the family (4 members). Support comes from a group of persons and they are almost instant. They solved any questions I had prior to visiting the apt.
  : The apt is located above diagonal. Although we thought it would be ok to walk for most of the cases, but it seemed that it was a challenge for the younger ones, so were using mostly taxis or hop-on hop-off busses (very closely located to the apt). Apt wasn't super clean but it is not something to complain big time for. I think for the money spent it should not have cleaning issues. Wifi was good in the room + kitchen + living room but the range was not good in the other 3 rooms. After booking and prior to my departure, the apt through booking.com the hosts asked me to continue at their website (sweetinn.com) and also enter my credit card information there for a) city tax and b) to book a guarantee of 400 euros for any damages that could be caused to the place by our staying. As this seemed strange to me I asked booking.com if I should be aware as all process should be completed on booking.com and that money was already collected from booking. Sweetinn insisted that this is their process listed also on the terms on booking (I didnt check if this was a fact) and I progressed with their requests but I was reluctant to be frank. Nothing bad happened in the end, but I was really worried at some point that something bad might happen or that it might be a scam. Turns out it wasn't, and everything went smoothly but I wanted to report it in case someone goes through the same thoughts as me.

  : Place is not super bad, but I hate the way its promoted. And also Pictures do NOT match reality. Need to online check-in to get access. (15 minutes filling out forms and upload ID cards of all travelers) For me as a traveler it feels annoying and redicolous. You need to download an app to open the door. Sounds innovativ but nothing but annoying. Plus advertise on portals like booking.Com and takes higher deposit then one night cost. With the deposit you need to put down, they could refurnish the place two times. Very low standard furnished. I dont have pictures because I normally never write reviews. But this business model must stop. Maybe Im old in thinking, but if I book a room to sleep and want it easy without getting 100 emails or filling out online forms or Downloading apps which I maximum use exactly one time.

  : Very spacious and fully equipped. Not too far from the center and lots of cafes and restaurants around.
  : AC unit for the bedrooms isn't sufficient. A bigger unit would do the job (during summer)
