Livingroom Mathildenhöhe

Die Lage allem voran war für unseren Aufenthalt ausschlaggebend.

Bei sehr warmem Wetter auf der Sonnenseite im dritten OG ohne Klimatisierung - trotz und wegen unzureichenden Verschattungsmöglichkeiten war es schlicht zu warm. Sauberkeit war mittelklassig, es fehlte an elementaren Sachen wie zB ausreichend Toilettenpapier oder Haken im Bad und Flurbereich. Die Bäder sind oberflächlich renoviert aber bedürften grundlegende Sanierungen.

All good

Todo muy bien

The apartment is clean and well equipped with all the necessary facilities for daily living. It is also well located, and the staff are friendly. Although the apartment gets hot and does not ventilate very well, especially during a record-breaking heatwave in Darmstadt, the hosts kindly provided me with a fan upon request.

While the apartment is well equipped for daily living, a stay longer than two or three days may become uncomfortable. I never once saw anyone working in the reception office. The apartment is only cleaned before and after you move out, which is fine, but there were only two small plastic garbage bags in the kitchen, with no spares, and no obvious place to dispose of garbage as it accumulated over the course of a week. I had to ask where to throw away my garbage and then wait for a reply. I then had to wait for a separate key to be delivered for the garbage room, only for it to be the wrong key. The induction stovetop seemed good, but I could not get it to work even after reading the manual. At that point, the burden of communicating with the host and waiting for responses had become overwhelming. There was barely enough toilet paper, and definitely not enough for two people staying there. All the keys to the apartment block are stored and collected in one large lockbox, which does not feel especially secure. After the whole fiasco with the incorrect garbage-room key and the ensuing communication around it, the host somehow implied in a message that I was responsible for another key that they had lost or could not find, which I did not appreciate.
