Weena House

The facility was overbooked. They tried to let me sleep on a air matras in the living room. Everything is outdated by 20 years and it was smelly

We didn't stay in this apartment. It was very hard to find and couldn't find any entrance, the owner didn't pick up phone call, it took us almost 1 hour to get into the apartment with help of a residence in the building, without him we wouldn't be able to get there, and the apartment is smelly and super hot, the owner is really not profesional at all. We paid on spot and escaped.

This is a very intimate homestay experience. Tatjana is a Russian woman in her 70s, who owns the large apartment and lives downstairs. It is in an apartment complex. The decor is very unique & quaint. The location is very suitable to access everything. You will be staying in one of the 3 rooms upstairs. The bathroom and shower are shared. Tatjana is not fluent in English. I found Google translate helpful to communicate when it was too tricky. Tatjana likes to know what time you are arriving and what time every morning you’d like breakfast, as she will have her daily life and appointments to attend to etc also. Please let her know. She makes her best effort to accomodate. There is a small table for breakfast that you will share with other guests. Tatjana enjoys having conversations with her guests as best as she’s able.

We were lucky that the place was not busy when we stayed, but I could see that a share bathroom could be tricky with many guests. The rooms can get quite stuffy so I had to leave the window open.

The bed was very comfortable. The bedroom was set up in a weird way. To watch TV you had to sit on the bed because the comfortable chairs were in angled wrong.

Communication was difficult, although the owner spoke English much better than I speak Russian or Norwegian.

It was clean and in a convenient location.

I ordered a twin room, I got a double bed. Fortunately my friend who I was supposed to travel with couldn’t make it. So it didn’t make a difference.

Very comfortable beds, nice facilities, welcoming host & good breakfast
