„Everything was wonderful and the parking instructions were clear. I appreciated the shampoo and shower gel provided in both bathrooms. Clean linen, a kettle, a hair dryer – they have practically thought of everything you could need. The host is welcoming.”translated from Romanian
„Our stay was amazing from beginning to end. The host was very informative and responsive. He provided useful information about the apartment, restaurants, transportation, and the city. The secure underground parking is the best. The elevator goes from the parking garage right to the apartment floor. The self check-in was extremely easy. The apartment was super clean. […] The apartment was spacious enough for our group of two adults and two teenagers. […] The neighborhood seems very safe and was always quiet at night. The AC was very strong in all the rooms. […] We will definitely stay here again in the future.”
„A wonderful apartment. It has every amenity to make your stay even more unforgettable. Very warm, clean and cosy. The host had thought of everything, including instructions in English and Bulgarian on how to reach the Christmas markets and where to stand to see Santa fly by on his sleigh. We also had a welcome gift: a bottle of wine, mineral water, soda and sweets. A coffee machine with several kinds of capsules, several kinds of tea. The underground parking is also a big convenience. A 10 out of 10. We lacked nothing. Thank you from the heart!”translated from Bulgarian
„We had an absolutely extraordinary stay in Craiova for the Christmas market. The accommodation was impeccable. They thought of every detail: they gave us a baby cot and a bed guard for our 9-year-old. We received a complete, very well organised guide for visiting the market, which helped enormously, especially with a baby stroller. […] We felt at home and will gladly come back.”translated from Romanian
„This is the first 10 I give without a shadow of a doubt. Cleanliness and comfort. Bed sheets and towels of the best quality. Everything is immaculate and bright. The kitchen has absolutely everything you need (excellent coffee, for example). A comfortable, spacious smoking spot on the balcony. "On the house" we found two bottles of water (still and sparkling) and a bottle of excellent red wine. […] Communication with the host was excellent, prompt and full of information. No problem parking underground!”translated from Romanian
