Mikhail stayed month in Πράγα
In general the apartment is exactly how it looks on the pictures - it's a very small studio (about 20 sqm) but well equipped for its size.
What's not in the pictures is a smell - the apartment is located on a low first floor, right above an open basement.
That's why it is very humid and smelly, especially in a "corridor" near the entrance. No direct sights of mold though.
First days it was really hard to get used to it. Humidifier helped, but not that much.
The second half of my stay when rains finally stopped and the weather improved it became much better.
The Internet is ok. It is stable and enough for having video calls, but is quite slow in general: 15-20 MBit download, under 1 MBit upload (ADSL).
Windows face a small inner garden. Neighbours have tables and chairs there, during sunny days it's nice to sit there.
But during rains it's an extra source of wet, and every evening - insects.
The location is good. Both nearest metro stations are about 10 minutes by walk.
Tram stops are about 5 min and the trams are very convenient in Prague. Run according to a schedule and can get you directly to the center, Malostranka or Vysehrad.
Large mall with hypermarket and ice arena: 10-15 min by walk.
The rest you can see in the photos and judge yourself.
Overall, if not the smell, I would say the apartment is a good value for money - for summer time when it is not that wet.

Pavel stayed 17 days in Λισαβόνα
Apartment as on the photo, spacious and with a separate office - workplace. Near the metro and shops.
Sara a wonderful and pleasant!
From minuses - the flat requires a normal general cleaning and work on getting rid of mould

Aunque el piso está decorado muy bonito, lo cierto es que es antiguo y se escucha todo, al menos en el cuarto en el que estuve. El fregadero de la cocina apesta, no sé si tiene humedad o que, pero había días que era insoportable. Supongo que el hecho de que viese a alguien del persoal de limpieza vaciar un cubo de basura de los que tenía debajo dentro de otra bolsa en la que echaban todos los residuos que separamos (chao reciclaje) no ayuda, porque esa bolsa se quedó ahí al menos una semana aunque se vació como tres veces al menos. Tampoco es que dispongamos de muchos productos de limpieza más allá de una aspiradora sin cepillo que se desmonta facilmente, supongo que para fomentar que contrates la limpieza extra, del mismo modo que te cambian las toallas una vez a la semana pero no las sábanas a no ser que pagues por este servicio. En definitiva, me esperaba algo mucho mejor, pero parece que es todo fachada. Por cierto, el ascensor estuvo averiado durante toda mi estancia, y a saber cuánto tiempo lleva así. Me hubiese gustado saberlo, ya que llegué muy cargada y contaba con al menos poder poner las maletas en el ascensor y no cargarlas dos largos pisos de escaleras.

So, the apartment is big, it was recently renovated. The location is perfect! WiFi speed was enough for two people for having video calls. It also has Landry room with a dryer.
But, they're also a downsides: don't expect much, as we did, since the apartment is partially a basement. But despite that, the apartment has its own entrance, which is plus!
Keep all of your food in the fridge, I'm not joking, ALL OF YOUR FOOD should be kept Ina fridge. Otherwise it will attract the cockroaches. Don't repeat our mistake, we had to kill tree of them, while we stayed for two week. and they're really big =)
Apartment also has constant smell of humidity. We also had a shortage of the garbage bags.
During two weeks, the cleaning was done only once: towels and sheets were replaced, but garbage wasn't thrown, and kitchen surfaces wasn't wiped.

Stephen stayed 16 days in Άλβορ
Landlord was good but the property was tired and a lot of noise from other people in the complex
Arno stayed 5 months in Αλμπουφέιρα
The apartment is big and well-equipped for a long-stay, though there is no washing machine and the interior is a bit aged. Location directly on the strip is good for those who don't bother about the street noise. The building, however, is quite grubby and has apparently seen far better days. The host is responsive and very cooperative.
Valeriia stayed month in Βουδαπέστη
The apartment is in the centre, quite spacious, though all the furniture and the linen were rather old and worn. Besides , some kitchen equipment wasn't working, the shabby windows were risky to open, heating was possible only by air-conditioners, and there were some problems with water heating - the boiler (though we didn't find it in the apartment but I guess the water was heated by a boiler) was if insufficient capacity to let more than 1 person to take shower, the other had to wait until it's heated again. I can't say the host was very friendly but not hostile at the same time.
Jakub stayed 4 months in Πράγα
Me and my friend Jakub were in this apartment, we were working in Prague airport and we choose this apartment because location of the apartment was the only good thing about it. First of all apartment was very smelly and humidity was very high, living in that apartment in winter season was almost impossible because it was freezing. Owner said that we need to pat extra money because of the spending too much electricity and gas, the problem was that the heater was not properly set up. Owner said that we change settings, which was not truth. We need to pay 340 € more and owner didn’t propose any agreement. We found that wasn’t out fault because the heater wasn’t set up properly. To clarify we paid more because of usage and apartment was still very cold. Second of all we asked for a new vacuum cleaner because one in the apartment was broken and he ordered it for us after 2 and a half of month. It’s better to find any other apartment than this one.

It's ok
Sue stayed 3 months in Πόρτο
Host Wise have been excellent to deal with. They have responded quickly to any questions and communication overall has been excellent.
The apartment itself was advertised as luxury accommodation. In summer that may have been so, but in winter it was cold and draughty as the french doors didn't quite shut properly and the heat pump wasn't coping. There was no double glazing. The kitchen was well equipped.
The ensuite shower needs a good scrub around the bottom of the doors and in the grouting.

The apartment is as pictured, but the problem was high humidity
Adam stayed 4 months in Πράγα
Overall, it's an okay choice for those seeking a straightforward urban rental, but with room for enhancement.
Victor stayed 3 months in Βαρσοβία
Small apartment, charming but badly laid out. It have a good location with a mall near. The confort is ok.
Unfortunately we left the appartement 3 months before the end of the contract. The bathroom smelled the cigarette and the landlord didn't found a solution. The landlord doesn't matter of our health and our confort, it's a shame.

Ankita stayed month in Πράγα
Good flat with everything you need. The landlord has made an effort to make this tiny basement room (so to say) into a habitable place with all amenities. For those who are light sleepers, I would warn you about the noise. There are noisy people in the tattoo parlour adjacent to the building which can get super annoying as they can party till late night. Also, the opening and closing of the main doors can also be heard and footsteps of all building residents going up and down the stairs. Plus the neighbour who lives infront seems to be some strange person who definitely stole my umbrella that was kept outside during the rainy days to dry off... xD The heater is also really old school and makes noise at night. Plus it gets cold in the room during winter months (if you are planning on booking it at that time) as it shuts off for couple of hours (probably due to load shedding).
I would say it's a good place to stay for a really short stay (couple of days). Don't book it for long term.

Communication was easy and nice. The flat is sufficient for a short stay but not in a very good state anymore. You could expect more for this high price.
Anne stayed month in Φουντσάλ
Our stay was for 5 weeks.
The landlord was always responsive and the front desk staff were helpful in answering questions and assisting with needs. The coffee machine stopped working and they sent a replacement. We left the keys in the apartment and Sandra drove in to provide a duplicate set on the weekend. The key to the back gate did not work to open the gate so we always had to access through the front door. Parking is sometimes an issue but we usually found a way to park either in front or on the side. A car is necessary if you want to get around since the building is at sea level and you have a mountain to climb to go up to Monument. We rented a car after 2 days from Sixt located at the roundabout by Reids
The view from the apartment and large terrace is jaw dropping. The promenade along Praia Formosa provides a lovely walk in either direction toward Lido area and Funchal (through the tunnel) or to Camara de Lobos. There are restaurants and snack bars along the promenade.
The apartment was not comfortable for our needs. It was bare bones in terms of furniture, bed, cookware and linens.
The bed was like sleeping on a hard floor and the linens made it worse since they were rough and did not fit the bed. The pillows were a mystery to us, large, full of lumps and bumps. We both had restless sleep and woke with back aches on most days. The towels, 2 bath and 2 hand should have been retired years ago. They were old and acted more like an exfoliator for the skin instead of absorbing moisture.
The kitchen was not outfitted to properly cook a small meal and most of the equipment is old and worn.
The washing machine worked well and accompanied by a dryer rack to use on the terrace.
We love Madeira and were fortunate to spend the Christmas and New Years Holidays on Praia Formosa. Ultimately, we were able to overlook the discomfort and enjoy the view.

The apartment is big and comfortable, in a good position in the city.
The furniture is overall ok; most everyday items are already provided. The owner is cooperative enough, communication is good and timely.
Issues with cockroaches due to the zone in town, although it has been addressed by the landlord multiple times.
The apartment is exploited for both long and short stays, so there is quite a change of roommates and the hygienic standard can sometimes suffer from this.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the apartment. Our host Diana was very nice but we had some problems with the building:
- The door to the apartment was very hard to open and close
- There is no lift and the common area smells bad
- The apartment has problems with ants (but poison for it was provided)
Good things are that things were mostly in a good shape and looked nice. The internet speed was good, TV was good and the apartment is spacious
- The kitchen was well-equipped but most of the pans were missing their handles
- The door to the apartment was very hard to open and close
- There is no lift and the common area smells bad

Aurelian is potentially the nicest landlord I've ever had. I wish it worked out, but I had problems with the unit and chose to move out early (which he allowed me to do very easily).
Things I didn't like that can be fixed: the bath didn't work (emits boiling water only).
Things I didn't like that might not be able to be fixed: the floors are thin and I can always hear the downstairs talking or with the TV on. They also smoke so I can't open the window. No other problems.
HOST'S REPLY:
The bath water worked correctly after check but could not be demonstrated as the guest required self-checkin. The neighbour noise probably
happened but could be circumstantial. Currently it is pretty silent and TV inaudible, improvements could be due to recent interactions with neighboorhood.
Care when moving heavy objects might help avoiding noise conflicts as floor is effectively thin, and closing the bedroom door or windows
will completely shut same-floor noises.

The only advantages of the apartment are the balcony with a superb view and the fact that the building is on the beach. Apart from these aspects, the apartment is in a deplorable condition. The tile moves and creaks everywhere, it even swelled and broke and they moved us to another apartment to make repairs. You cannot sit on the sofa in the living room, it is at least 30 years old and it falls apart from any corner. The sofa and the carpet are so old and faded and full of dust that they are completely unusable and have given us a strong dust allergy. The furniture in the balcony is so old that the paint is peeling off. We had to wash all the windows when we moved into the apartment plus the carpet which was full of dust. The refrigerator in the apartment is an extremely small one, like a hotel refrigerator, totally unsuitable for an apartment or for a medium-long term rent. The doors and windows do not insulate sound at all. You can hear any movement from the parking lot and from the nearby shisha bar. The internet is not good for remote work. The collaboration with the staff was a good one.

The location is fantastic, the ocean is very close but the apartment did not look ready for receiving guests. And unfortunately, the apartment looked different from the pictures from when we booked, actually, it was a ground-floor apartment. However, the owner tried to fix everything she could as soon as possible which I appreciate. Overall, the location was just great.
