I had booked this apartment months in advance for a major work event in Rotterdam, only to be cancelled less than 24 hours before arrival with no personal message or explanation. The lack of communication was extremely frustrating, especially since I had planned everything around this trip. Despite the convenient location and proximity to public transit, the poor customer service completely ruined my experience. It’s disappointing to see such a lack of professionalism from a property that claims to offer short-stay convenience. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for reliability and respect from their booking provider.
