Alexi Apartments - Newly Renovated Apt in the Heart of the City near to Railway Station and Nokia Arena

Sijainti tosi hyvä

Avaimen saanti hankalaa

Loistava sijainti

The apartment is right in the center of the city, a short walk from the train station and from various stores and supermarkets, and most attractions are also within walking distance (albeit not short), including the fabled Moomin museum.

The building seems old and in somewhat poor condition, feels more like south Brooklyn. The apartment, on the other hand, has too modern equipment, like an induction oven, which took a while to figure out (an instruction leaflet would've been helpful). The check-in process is difficult - you need to pick up the keys at some hotel in another part of the city. This was not mentioned on the webpage, I found that out only after booking. They did agree to switch to another, much closer hotel, but it was still inconvenient, in part due to all the constructions in the area, which made that hotel hard to access. Despite the promise of a quite room and strict instruction not to make any noise after 10pm, the neighbors played booming music well past midnight. Not sure where the music came from, it felt like it was coming from all the walls. Most likely it came from above, but hard to say. But perhaps worst of all, even though the apartment had wifi as promised, they forgot to leave the password! I searched the entire apartment several times over and didn't find anything. I called the owners, but the call didn't go through. I wrote them and they did give me the password, but only on the following morning, shortly before checkout, so it didn't help much. In short, the service felt neglectful and amateurish, as if this was the first time they hosted someone.

Emme saaneet tätä huoneistoa vaan tilalle vaatimaton hotelli

Vessa lattialämmitys todella kuumalla

Sijainti on erinomainen kaupungissa liikkumiseen. Kaikki on aivan kulman takana. Asunto oli siisti.

Seinät ovat pahvia, ja alakerrassa on yökerho. Siitä voi tehdä päätelmiä: jumputusta aamuyöhön. Ei toki haittaa, jos nukkuu kuin tukki tai juhlii siellä itsekin. Avainten nouto eri paikasta melkoinen härdelli.
