location, host

the main building

I recently had the pleasure of staying in a stunning apartment in the heart of the city. From the moment I stepped inside, I was blown away by the modern and stylish design. The apartment was impeccably clean and well-maintained, with all of the amenities that I could have possibly needed during my stay. The kitchen was fully equipped with top-of-the-line appliances. The living room was spacious and comfortable. The furnishings were tasteful and contemporary, and the artwork on the walls added a touch of sophistication to the space. The bedroom was just as impressive, with a comfortable king-sized bed and luxurious linens. Perhaps the best feature of the apartment was its location. Situated in the heart of the city, I was just steps away from some of the best restaurants, bars, and cultural attractions. Despite being in such a bustling area, the apartment was surprisingly quiet and peaceful, allowing me to get a good night's sleep each night. Overall, I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a comfortable and stylish place to stay in the city. With its top-notch amenities and unbeatable location, it's truly a gem of a find!

The apartment has good location and walking distance to Old Town. The property is nice and clean and has what you need for short stay or long vacantion. The host Alex is nice person and communication is 100% at any time day or night.

amazing apartment, spacious, comfortable, beautifully decorated, nice lighting, kitchen… great host, very responsive and helpful

nothing ,

everything , I ask him to start the heater he told me will start at 24:00 !!! and it doesn't work , because I talked with Booking staff to solve the problem !! there is no elevator ! and small bathrom small staires to 2 floor = 3 floor !!! thank god I didn't book it more than 1 night ,

Excellent location within an easy walking distance of main sites in Bucharest. Easy to get a taxi to and from the airport. Host was communicative via Booking.com and WhatsApp and sent through lots of details of things to do/see (although these were a lot of messages). The flat itself looks really nice inside and was heated well.

A deposit was requested on arrival which I was expecting, but the host didn't meet me and expected me to leave the money (they requested cash) in the lockbox on arrival. The host was quite pushy about this with constant reminders even though I had agreed and acknowledged. I requested a receipt for the deposit as they wanted cash. The host said he would bring me one the next day, but did not. I did receive the deposit back on departure so at least they were trustworthy but this seemed risky. The bed was broken which made getting a good night's sleep challenging. On one side of the bed all the slats were barely in place, and someone had put a stool on its side to try and hold them up, at a completely different height to the rest of the bed. The other side also had some slats which were not attached. I informed the host of this on arrival who said he would look at it the next day. Again, this did not happen. On departure the host reported he was not aware of the broken bed prior to my stay which I find very surprising. Be prepared to walk up and down steps. One escalator did not work and only located another when a resident showed me, but this didn't go to the floor the flat was on. This wasn't really a problem for me, but might be for others.

The location is fine.

Alex the host is a very nice guy but aparently, he wasn't honest with us. 1. Our bed was broken. We couldn't sleep at night. Alex pretended like it happened a day before we checked in but when we checked the reviews on booking, it broke long ago, and we figured he was too cheap to fix it and moreover kept on booking it to make more money. 2. Everytime we took a 2 minute shower, the water flooded so high that they flooded the whole room and we couldn't have a shower properly. 3. TV battery was empty. 4. Two nights before we left, there was a serious leak coming down from the ceiling's the bulb and out of the stove ventilator to the point we were scared to get electrocuted(see attached). 5. The building is about 100 year old we were scared to use the elevator. 6. There's a small balcony u can't even step on it cuz it's super scary and small. The other balcony is just a small laundry space.

We had no problem with the location, the building is in bad shape, but the apartment is as it is shown on the site. However the owner accused us of breaking the bed, which was already broken, of lying about putting the keys in a wrong place and really ruined the little goods impression of his place. Calling names to the tourists is the last thing you expect, especially around the New Year holidays. That didn’t ruin our impression of Romanian people and their city, but had to share so that you know about the host.
