The location and price are hard to argue with, but the apartment shows its age — uncomfortable mattresses, thin walls, and a bathroom that needs work are recurring complaints. Host responsiveness is inconsistent: some guests rave about Rana, others couldn't get a reply for days.

🚩 Red Flags

Uncomfortable mattresses and bedding

The mattress gave both of us a difficult time.

Considering the fair price you pay, don't expect full comfort. The one thing that would really make a huge difference is to change the mattress. It gave both of us a difficult time.

The bed was not comfortable enough — you could get a room with higher standards for the same price.

Bathroom needs maintenance / upgrade

The bathroom and shower need additional maintenance, and the AC doesn't cool.

The bathroom needs to be upgraded.

1 year ago·ae·Score: 8/10

Cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. The bathroom has no shower enclosure so the whole floor gets wet during a shower.

Inconsistent host responsiveness and check-in/check-out flexibility

Host did not respond to messages on Booking or WhatsApp even though he was online.

Contact with the host was chaotic — he did not respond to my Booking or WhatsApp messages even though he was online. We arrived after a 13-hour bus ride and had to wait exhausted even though the apartment had been free for days.

I tried to cancel immediately after booking, a month before the trip, but the owner never responded to me or to Booking at all. Complete silence.

Poor sound insulation / noise from street and neighbours

No sound insulation — you hear everything from outside, including dogs.

No sound insulation — you can hear the street and dogs, and there is no daily cleaning. The apartment is somewhat old.

The apartments are very thin-walled and you can hear the neighbouring rooms.

Remote location — car essential

It's a little bit in the middle of nowhere — if you don't have your own transport, I wouldn't recommend it.

It's a little bit in the middle of nowhere, so if you don't have your own means of transportation, then I wouldn't recommend it.

Location is a bit far off and you need a car or completely rely on taxis that sometimes took quite a bit of time to get there.

Very far from the city — I don't advise it unless you have a car. They don't collaborate for late check-out either.

Kitchen cleanliness and equipment quality

Kitchen utensils not clean and mouldy.

Kitchen utensils were not clean and mouldy. If you want to act like a hotel, at least have hotel standards.

The kitchen area is a catastrophe. Very loud people in the building.

Kitchen area and fridge need a good clean and some kitchen supplies; bathroom very simple and aircon noisy.

The building is old.

Some electrical appliances are rusted. The elevator was broken during our stay but the keeper helped with our luggage.

The apartment needs new furniture to be more comfortable and attractive; the room also lacks sound insulation.
