Hamdan Suite

I liked the fact that there was a dish drainer and that the washing machine is also a dryer. The host is responsive when he's needed: when the toilet wouldn't flush, he came in person and brought a professional to fix it within a few hours. Comfortable sofa-bed. Well situated, near pretty much everything, and we felt safe.

The apartment was recently renovated but the finishes were botched; especially the bathroom door. There is a clear distinction between what the contractor did (meh) and what the host did (good). WARNING about the soap dispenser: more than a few days of use will dry and damage the skin to the point of bleeding. Both of us had multiple cuts on our hands. Buy your own soap! WARNING about the trash: some people seem to think that the trash is to be left inside, at the bottom of the stairs, and that it will magically disappear. That is not the case. The trash has to be taken outside at 18h00. As a result, there's trash at the entrance and it smells like a dump. At least, it didn't smell inside the apartment.

La seul chose qui et pas top ses dur de ce garer mais le propriétaire n'y et pour rien

It is located near a tram stop and only 10 min walk from the centre of town and main train station. The apartment is fitted out reasonably nicely and includes a washing machine.

We were made to wait after check-in time while it was “cleaned”, which only took 10 minutes once the cleaner finally turned up. When we went inside and had a look around, it was obvious that the “cleaning” was just pulling the duvets back up and repositioning the pillows. The sheets and pillows all had other peoples hair on them. So did the bathroom bench and around the shower. There was dust on the surfaces which showed that they had not been wiped recently. We booked for 4 people (adults and teenagers) but the second “bed” was a small pullout sofa that was only big enough for small children. Also there was no pillows for this bed, only couch cushions. The hand soap dispenser in the bathroom didn’t work. There was less than half a roll of toilet paper. The hot water ran out after 2 showers. We are glad we had only booked for 1 night. This is a fairly nice apartment and could be a nice place to stay if it was managed and cleaned A LOT better than it currently is.
