Apartment Barcelona

Owner and housekeeper were very friendly and helpful. It took a while to check in but we arrived late in the evening so it was understandable with bad traffic in Belgrade. The stay was a compact studio apartment. Very neat and tidy. For a month, the price was very affordable and the experience was more than what we kind of expected for a per night cost basis. We had a little trouble packing up and the owner and housekeeper were kind enough to help us by giving us a little extra time to move out. Owner was also very kind and helped us register our residency as well as extending the time to pay the rest of the rental fee as I didn't know it was a cash only rental.

You get what you pay for usually although in this case, what you get is actually more than what you pay for. However, discounting the cost basis of our stay, my only criticisms are the floor of the shower being kind of flimsy and the elevators were also not working. Garbage disposal is a very short walk from the apartment as well. Elevators weren't working when we were there but it was good exercise to walk up a couple flights of stairs. Views from the balcony aren't amazing but refreshing. There were rowdy kids blowing things up in the back that disturbed us but this had nothing to do with the location or the service provided by the owner or the housekeeper.

Nice apartment in a very good area of Belgrad. Nice to have breakfast on balcony. 24h supermakt across the street. Short distance to center. Landlord always supports in all communication. Thank you

Apartment needs new iron and ironboard. Was not usable.

Everything was great

The elevator wasn't in use for long period of time. And no notice from host.

The location of the apartment is good, near the public city transport, bakeries, shoping malls, hospitals, schools and city attractions. Furniture and equipment is from quality vendors and relatively new. All apartment looks like recently renovated. It does not have own parking but you can park on the marked parking spaces in the streets. Parking costs about 0.5€ per hour and it can be paid via smartphone application so you do not need to have Serbian mobile phone number, just phone snd your visa/master card.

First of all, the owner is a scammer and you have to beware of him! According to the rules of Booking, we pay the daily city tax to the host for each person individually. He did not register us as guests with justification that he had never done this in the past 13 years for people from Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. We had to shorten our stay by 2 days and we notified the host in time so he could remove the reservation and someone else could potentially reserve. In return, we asked for our money back for that two days. He refused that and said that he could not do that. When we return to our home, he modify reservation same day and released apartment for potential reservation. This means he puts in his pocket almost 120€ in our case. From the photos, we get the impression that the apartment is extremely clean and tidy, but the reality is completely different. There is so much dust on the furniture, shelves and bed that I think it has not been thoroughly cleaned since the renovation. There are quite old stains on the pillows and duvet and also you may smell an unpleasant smell. Disgusting! The apartment is on the 4th floor in old building and the elevator is not working. Even if they repair it in the near future, it is still unreachable for the people with disabilities and parents with children in strollers because there is two levels of stairs before elevator entrance. First part has 6-7 stairs, and second has 10 stairs. There is no light above the entrance door to the apartment so you are almost in total darkness. The intercom also does not work so you must always bring the key from main entrance of the building with you. WiFi network is terrible. Network password is too long and complicated. I measured the network speed in best part of the day and it was 4.83 Mb/s download and 5.99 Mb/s upload. Otherwise, the speed is mostly 0.35 Mb/s download and 1.87 Mb/s upload so it is not possible to use it for mostly Internet surfing.

Convenient location - five minutes from the main temple, 20 minutes walk to the historic center. Lots of variety of cafes and restaurants around. Great view from the balcony, spacious enough for one or two people. The kitchen and toilet have everything you need. Comfortable bed, fast internet.
