Definitely not for anyone with claustrophobia! To reach the sink, you have to awkwardly squeeze sideways and then endure being tightly wedged between the shower wall and bathroom wall—truly uncomfortable and unsettling. The lack of space made it feel suffocating, and I felt genuinely uneasy throughout. It’s a nightmare experience I’d never want to repeat. Not worth the stay.
The apartment is incredibly comfortable and well-located, just a short metro ride from the city center. While the soundproofing could be better—occasional voices from neighboring units can be heard at night—I found that adjusting the electric window blinds helped manage both noise and airflow. Just be mindful that raising them too much lets in strong morning sunlight, which might be perfect if you're an early riser. The kitchen is fully equipped with all essentials, including salt and pepper, making it ideal for self-catering stays. Overall, this place offers great value and a homely feel, especially for travelers who appreciate privacy and convenience.
