Cosy & Quiet Expat Studio♡

Location fab, flat ok, but furnishings need some TLC

Well we've stayed in Maamoura before so we picked it for the location.

− The bedding - it needs a massive overhaul, also water tank way too small could barely fit a shower in before it went stone cold.

Okay

Robin communicated swiftly and well and sent over a helpful check in manual. Location is good. Train station is in walking distance. Some cafes, a shop and a bakery and a restaurant are round the corner. We appreciated the access to the garage, as we travelled by car. Price value was ok to be fair.

− Only fairly clean unfortunately. We were quite surprised as other reviews stated it as clean. Please see the photo of the sponge we found under the sink, it speaks for itself. No basics so had to buy cleaning products for 10€ right at arrival and did a rough clean ourselves. No shower gel or shampoo either. Luckily had some leftover from a previous hotel we stayed at. 2 small toilet rolls for a whole week were also disappointing. Therefore bought toilet paper ourselves as well. Table in living room has seen better days and literally needs to be disposed. See photo for reference. Messaged the host to say that 4 lights were broken that he wanted to fix after our stay. Would’ve been nice to have a fully lit hallway and bathroom whilst we were there. To our surprise the closet came without a single hanger (?!). The green bed sheets weren’t washed and were slightly smelly. Bear in mind there’s a nonetheless beautiful Mosque opposite the building, that of course loudly calls to prayer at 5:30am. Furthermore the apartment faces an inner courtyard so neighboring noises are amplified at night through the shaft. Apartment does the trick for a short stay like a weekend. OK sized for a couple, even though it looked much bigger in the pictures online. Would not stay for a whole week again like we did (also no towel exchange). Kitchen only had the bare minimum. Funnily enough no forks. I feel like the apartment hasn’t been checked out by the host in a long time and only has a cleaning lady come round. It certainly isn’t cozy at all but could be updone easily! So fingers crossed for future guests.

Clean and modern style studio with lots of perks and convenience. I had all I needed, full kitchen with white goods (fridge, freezer, oven, washing machine, coffee machine) and all in prestine condition. Bathroom and shower are very clean and hot water is working fine. Also, the owner left a couple of fresh clean towels for extra convenience. The studio has a centralized AC (hot and cold) which is very convenient. The bedroom is spacious for one or two persons with a good size wardrobe.

− No sunlight. The studio is in the ground floor and faces the inside of the building.

Excellent for business travellers
