Pro: Eyal is a superhost. Great communication including a phone call! Getting the key and dropping it off was super easy. All appliances were brand new, the apartment is brand new in an elevator building and it was super clean. Having a small market under the building is a great convenience, don't have to carry water too far, Don't drink the tap water in Romania!! Ive stayed up the road on Branduselor where I rented an apartment for 2 1/2 weeks for the last 8 years but it certainly wasn't as nice as this plus you have a terrace with a great view. Apartment had a flat screen TV with cable, the bathroom had small shampoos but I travel with everything, also towels were supplied. There is no microwave or telephone so you do need a cell phone to make calls. There are a variety of new pots, pans, utensils, plates and glasses. There is a new washing machine for clothes washing and a brand new clothes drying rack. The apartment is a couple of short blocks to Mall Vitan where you have a bigger market, cinema, stores, food court, it's a modern mall, many malls in Bucharest. You can take an Uber to the Old City or to malls, to the many parks around and other attractions and museums in the city. You can download the Lime Scooter app and rent one of these scooters if you want to see the city a different way just be super careful. Bucharest is not drone friendly so don't bother bringing one. BucharestInyourpocket is a great monthly guide to find out whats happening https://www.inyourpocket.com/bucharest Would definitely stay here again
Contra: I like a microwave so maybe in the future there will be one, I also enjoy a hands free shower so maybe that can be accomodated in the future. Also instructions for the washing machine in English, I'm really bad at the controls lol
