Pension Liechtenstein Apartments II

Descriptions can be deceptive. We had #12 with loft and courtyard view which sounded delightful. But the courtyard is the bottom of a high concrete canyon with views of some potted plants, bike racks and garbage bins. The apartment is always dark; it appears bright in pictures because of large flourescent lights. The first look is a shock because floors need refinishing, the ancient TV and sofa need to be tossed. The loft main bed is small for two and creaks so much that you need to separate. The washroom is tiny (less than 25 sq. ft or 2.3 sq. m.) and the basic square shower is wrong for such a small space. The place looked dingy and we worried about mice and bugs (this proved wrong). Note, we did learn to live with it. It was relatively convenient (15 min. to Old Town). The housekeeper was pleasant. Other rooms may be nicer (we looked in #14 and it looked larger and more cheerful. Note too that we are adaptable and seldom complain in our travels but this particular apartment could be made much cosier if refurbished, even though it will remain dark, and the courtyard dreary.

Points positifs : Location Friendly cleaning woman

Points négatifs : Room dark, almost dingy. Furniture in need of replacement, and some renovation required in order to improve it. Room 12 should be discounted.
