Max Beer Apartments

Where to start? I regret staying at Max Beer for a couple of reasons. First, its really not good value for money -- its actually more expensive than other city centre hotels and this is not a hotel, but a flat in a residential block of flats. Second, while flat appeared clean (and one is required to pay 20euros for cleaning!), everything (towels, linens, pillows, sheets) smelled of cigarette smoke. Yuck! Third, because it is not a hotel, you have to time your arrival based on the schedule of the contact. I arrived at 4pm and the flat was not ready, and yet I wanted to leave at 1:30pm but they could not have the flexibility for that. Very poor. Finally, no kitchen basics like cooking oil, teas, etc., so one has to buy a bottle of oil, etc. which is ridiculous if you only want to cook for a weekend. I would not advice a friend to go to this place unless changes are made by the people managing the apartment rent out.
