Alba Apartment on Calea Victoriei

La ubicación muy céntrico, apartamento tranquilo.

El viaje de teletrabajo se convirtió en un fracaso, el wifi sin funcionar, imposible contactar por teléfono con el número de atención del propietario, que todo por mensajería de la plataforma, lo que hace muy lenta la comunicación para una emergencia, ignoro de porque tienen un negocio con un teléfono que `dicen´que no les funciona. Conclusión me tuve que ir a teletrabajar una oficina de coworking. Eso si un par de mensajes para ver a que hora saliamos el domingo.

The property location was very good. The finishes were nice, but some were a little dated.

There was a bit of noise from the surrounding neighbourhood. A few days after we were in the unit, the host said that we needed to pay for a cleaning since our stay was over 10 days. We were booked for 12 days, so I said that I didn't think I should have to pay for a cleaning since we already paid for cleaning in the cost of the booking. She then said that it was also an opportunity to check the condition of the unit mid-stay. I said that she could come by on a particular day, but she asked for photos/video instead. I told her that there was no way to send photos/videos through the messaging system in Booking and she stated that she did not have WhatsApp so she wanted me to text them to her. I wasn't going to pay roaming charges to send the photos. It became a back and forth that was very strange, so I messaged the people at Booking to let them know that this was very strange request and that it wasn't right that I should have to pay more for texts or cleaning since I already paid for cleaning when I booked the unit. We would have stayed in the unit again, because the location was good and the noise was manageable, but the experience with the host was too strange.

PROS: comfy, warm and good location. Very spacious and had all the convenient cutleries. apartment is attractive and well decorated

- Building from the outside is not a pleasant sight - Lift is also dated i preferred to use the stairs - Door knob and toilet tap are loose, this is an easy fix - room could do with fresh smell, please replace the diffusers - no complimentary water

Location is good value of money is good apartment is good clean

Check out and check in time is not good I ask the owner how the TV work and lovely he told me by the remote control ha ha ha ha

Location

1- Very difficult communication with the management of the property. They have no WhatsApp and you need to call them internationally if you don't have a local SIM card. Even when you call them they don't answer. I called them in the checkout 5 times but they didn't answer the call. And they take a long time to reply to your message through booking.com especially when the issue is urgent. I don't believe that there is anyone in the world who doesn't use WhatsApp. 2- The apartment is not like how it appears in the photos. The building is very old. The furniture is not as new as it appears in the photos. The bed is not comfortable at all, making noises whenever you move. Pillows are old and very small. The property is not that clean.
