Apartment Köln Weidenpesch

The property's location was excellent, being very near a supermarket and tram stop, with the city center only a 20-minute ride away.

Nothing major

No curtains, uneven floorboards, nails on floorboards

The staff, the location (close to the place we were supposed to be) and shops and public transport are 1 min away.

Nothing. It was exactly what we needed.

The apartment was lovely and clean, warm, and the beds ŵere comfortable. The shower is hot and powerful. Kitchen is moderately equipped, with microwave, cooker, fridge, dishwasher. Good location, with a good sized supermarket across the street and a tram stop very close by. Apartment is located towards the rear of the building so there is not too much noise from the tram or cars.

Although the heat was on all day there is a draught under the door which was unpleasant, we put a duvet across to block it and that helped but perhaps the owners would think about putting in some kind of draught excluder. There is a saucepan with a broken handle in the kitchen which needs replacing.

Supermarket and train station were close. Giving it 2 as we had warm water and due to closeness of store and train.

Read other reviews, please, especially newest ones, as things keep repeating. I initially didn't believe it, as when we booked it, this had 8.4 review and I am not sure if that initial grade was truthful, as what we got was not what we saw on pics and what we got. As you climb, stairs have red mouldy carpet on them. Mould is on some parts of walls and smell of it is present, furniture is not as new as it looks on pictures, floor is bending when you walk over it, kitchen is not clean, doors dont close well, dishes were greasy, mcdonalds ketchup bag in bed (???) from previous tenants, pillows falling apart, etc. And I feel bad for writing it all down, as I want to believe that this was not done on purpose... In offer, they combined pictures of 2 apartments and you don't really know what you are buying/which one you get. Not sure if they can speak English, but they do answer WhatsApp fast with basic sentences, which was nice. They are renovating the lower floor so I hope they offer proper stays in the future. If we paid the full price (we got it discounted) it would be totally not ok.

The place fits 6-7 people . Complete with beddings , towels , pits, pans, glasses, plates and utensils. Kitchen complete . Just need washing machine & dryer, though there is a laundromat 3 tram stations away. Quite clean. Water is strong , hot water available . Very near the tram that takes you to the city center. Good for groups and family. Only downside is if there is a neighbor in the next unit who is noisy (like we had) , then it’s hard to sleep.

Check out was too early - 10am. Would’ve been good to checkout at 12nn.
