BIG 3BR appartment at Olympic Stadium at PIE-IX Metro station

Nothing

As a Booking.Com user for years, this is the first place that was absolutely disgusting in many areas. We arrived with the street all torn up in front of the unit which we weren’t told about. The stone steps we had to climb we’re dangerous ,broken and so uneven that my husband almost fell down. I understand this is a very old character place from early century, however safety should be number one and the steps I will show you in photo need repair. Then climbing up stairs, we were holding on to a railing that had come out of the wall bracket and again I almost fell! WE walked into the unit and the stinky smell was reek. The air freshener didn’t take care of the smell. The owner said it was clean and suitable to live in but the kitchen was dirty, the front of the fridge was rusty and dirty, stone filthy with burnt burners, lifted the bed sheets and found a messy bed with hair. Towel were thin and small, and cobwebs and dirt along the walls. This is my second time to complain to the owner as well as you at Booking.com and am so disappointed that the only compensation we got was 146.27 from you. I would have thought you would have strongly insisted that they at least give us a refund got 3/4 of it as I’m sure they could have rented out again. Anyways we would be grateful to hear a better compensation for not staying here. The worst part is that I see your based in Holland and I was born in Amsterdam so country man I hope to hear from you.

The parking was a great feature of this stay. We also made full use of the kitchen. The apartment was large and spacious and worked perfectly for our group of 3 friends.

I wish we could have parked in the back and entered through the back, sliding glass door. It was a different key, so we walked around the front every time.

Location is great

Is too old, everything smells bad

Location was ideal, near a Metro station, with walking distance to restaurants, grocery store and attractions at the Olympic stadium.

From the difficulty finding the parking spot at the rear of the property, the garbage all over the front, the front door to building that didn’t close, the hand written sign on door saying “don’t lock” through to the shabby interior it was all very off putting. Also this apartment is advertised as Air Conditioned …. It isn’t! It has a mobile AC unit that attaches to a window. When we arrived, temperature was 30 degrees, before the humidity, the unit wasn’t set up but stored deep inside a closet so, by the time we pulled it out and got it working, it created a really unpleasant night sleep.

The location is really good and the apartment is very spacious.

The apartment is very old. The outside was very dirty, they forgot to wash a hand towel that was also very dirty and disgusting. Some parts of the floors were very squeaky.

Entrance to the building and stairs to the apartment

Great location with parking. Plenty of room for our family of 3. Both front and back balconies. The shower was fantastic. We could have very easily cooked and done our laundry there, it had everything you would need. Plenty of little extras if you forgot something. Noise was minimal and became very quiet by 11 pm. I would stay here again if we come back.

We came in late at night and had to drive around the block 3 or 4 times to find the alley we needed to pull down to park. Better directions like how many houses past the property it would be or how far from the end of the road. Easy to find during the day. I wish you could lock the back door as you leave but you have to walk around to the front of the house (half a block) to enter and lock. Some curtains on the windows would be nice. the bedrooms windows had sheer curtains.

The apartment is large and roomy. The rooms are nicely decorated and bright. Despite being on a large avenue, the noise level is very minimal. Extremely quiet.

The exterior needs some TLC, The concrete stairs are uneven. The kitchen needs more pans and serving tools.

Beautiful clean apartment with everything you need to cook

Nothing

The size of the apartment, really comfortable and close to the metro station was a big plus
