This experience has been nothing short of a scam.
1. They require payment for both registration and reservation fees right up until check-in.
2. The advertised rent is misleading. They inflate prices during peak demand, so you might end up paying 100 to 200 euros more per month than your roommate, not to mention the initial fees.
3. The quality of service is appalling; the rooms, communal areas, and kitchen are in terrible condition (and this applies to more than just the space I rented).
4. You pay for a service that is nonexistent. It’s easy to reach out before making a payment, but once you're committed, good luck getting help; you’ll likely only speak to an automated system.
5. They will try to scam you upon your departure; expect charges for items like pillows, bedding, and blankets after use. Often, they will withhold your deposit. They tend to leave the used items for the next tenant, meaning the bed, mattress, and pillows you receive will be in poor condition, not to mention the kitchenware and bathrooms.
6. It's unfortunate that they hold such a monopoly and exploit young students and workers in major cities where finding housing is already challenging. I would strongly advise against using their services.
