This accomodation is real luxury experience. Elegant furniture, clean modern look and feel, amazing hot tub on the rooftop with lovely view to Kosice. Owner was very responsive, and the whole self-service online experience was smooth. Would love to come back again!

The apartment is indeed clean and equipped with everything you need. However, I am not a legal expert, but at least from an ethical perspective, the description of the property does not properly emphasise some of the details of your booking. While I understand the owner's wish to maintain the quality of the apartment, the chosen control and surveillance mechanisms undermine comfort.

You pay in advance without knowing the following details: - When you enter the apartment, you sign the Terms and Conditions - something that is shared with you only a couple of days before your stay, after you paid the deposit and extra fees. Who will cancel their booking at this stage, even if they disagree with the terms and conditions, given that the booking is non-refundable? - In the Terms and Conditions, you notice the price for the use of the jacuzzi, sauna, and even the grill. Of course, you can choose not to use them. - There is a video camera right above the jacuzzi, and other surveillance tools in the flat, such as a sound level measuring device (if your sound level is above a certain threshold for more than 5 minutes during the night, your deposit won't be returned). You feel under constant surveillance - something that you are reminded of in different ways (the owner stays under your floor, and you might get whatsapp messages). Personally, I am sensitive to the privacy of my family. The idea that anything you discuss during your holiday is recorded has been a key barrier for us to feeling relaxed. - The owner has a talent for controlling everything, and he would probably be a great lawyer. Yet, he does not have patience with his guests. Questions such as, e.g., is there a possibility for late checkout, are answered with lots of instructions and links, and only after paying a deposit and a terrible online check-in procedure, you get to know the price and the max hours for the late checkout, only some days before your stay. This is a problem when you try to organise your trip according to this information. - There is a horrible online check-in procedure that was breaking up for us for technical reasons. You spend hours figuring out the check-in app, the terms and conditions, etc. If you just wanted to forget technology and rushy workdays to just relax for two days, this might not be the right place for you.
