    Big spacious apartment in quiet part of town.

    • Two-Bedroom Apartment - Penthouse with Jacuzzi
    • Stayed 4 nights

    Minor things - there was no iron, which we had expected. Shower holder in small bathroom broken so was less easy to take shower. Kettle working but broken so difficult to turn on. Small things but they take the edge off what is a fairly expensive apartment and they can be fixed cheaply.

    Good space in quiet block, nice and comfortable. Easy to get to places around town.

    The jacuzzi had not been properly clean I would say, I had to remove visible dirt stains. The temperature of the jacuzzi was fixed at 37 degrees, no more, no less. Very very slow elevator, but this has nothing to do with the apartment itself. The bath has no window.

    The view is extraordinary, with a perfect sunrise. It is quiet, comfortable beds, well equipped apartment. Parking place included. Definitely a place you would like to stay during Brasov visit. Close to shops. 45 minutes walk by foot to downtown. It is my second visit at brasov penthouse retreat and intend to come again.

    The beds weren't confortable, few pillows or,very small in size, the key to open the appartment door was a nightmare and so on.

    I like the location. You have everything that you could need close by. The only great thing was the hottube on the terrace and peacefull neighbourhood.

    Okish: shabby & overpriced.

    The apartment is shabby. Furniture okish, but partially not cleaned enough. In one of the bedrooms the paint on the walls is gone. Jacuzzi tub is ok. Kitchen is hard to describe in words - we’ve found it partially flooded, but it was solved. So, the apartment is ok, but definitely overpriced - it’s like the owners don’t care anymore and they rely only on the jacuzzi thing.

    Large apartment, jacuzzi is 101% relaxing.

    The property is not well maintained with many broken things. Did not feel like a "Penthouse" at all. Felt a bit cheap.

    Host was very nice and accomodating. Location was central. Spa was nice.

    If you want to watch Netflix, make sure you bring a laptop and hdmi cable. None of the interior doors have locks.

    The hot tub is perfect on a cool morning. Shopping center is a two minute walk from the apartment. Nice neighborhood.

    It was a very bad surprise! The location was cleaned superficially, and full of mold. The kitchen was cleaned only at surface: all the cabinets were full of greese, mold and dust. A very bad smell came from under the washbasin. Both bathrooms were full of mold, one of the windows couldn't be closed completely. The big room was very cold. The entire house was full of dust. It is incredible how in 2023 such an apartment can be rented! I truly don't recommend it!

    It was clean but felt dusty like it was cleaned 3 months ago and then rented without being re-touched again.There was a lot of snow on the balcony and they'd made a path but not entirely and you could slip in flipflops (jacuzzi);they provided us with a shovel; and while we cleaned around we found some broken glass;probably a dog was there as we saw some pawprints and some yellow snow;the picture is from the morning as in the night (when we arrived) we did not see it. The water in the jacuzzi was clean;had quite the chlorine in it but it was not awful;in the night there were -14 Celsius degrees and in the jacuzzi, there were 40;really nice to stay in the water but if we turned the jets on all that steam felt like pure chlorine;we just "bathed" together admiring the stars.In the day it was better as there were 2-3 C degrees;but we still could not keep the jets on.While I was washing the dishes I felt my feet wet;because of the broken tap, the water that was running down on it it got behind the cabinet and on the floor;"luckily" they provided us with a mop and a bucket (said it was for when coming from outside with snow on our boots) but the bucket did not have smth to squish the mop... so we kinda absorbed some water but most of it we smeared it around and waited for it to dry.The sofa was a nightmare;stained and dusty and with a moldy feeling.Please wash that or throw it away!They put a TV in the dormitory and the cable was pulled "to the max" in the door;do a better job!

    The apartment has all the opportunities to be of great value. The builders made it big and it is situated in a "breathable area" as there are no buildings all around it so it has a good view. The building is lovely. The jacuzzi was big and warm. The apartment had all (old/used) equipment needed to stay there.

    - apartment (yellow 11) looks beaten up and smells akward, it needs to be renovated asap - beds are very uncomfortable and noisy (you cannot turn over without it making squeek noises) - tv remote control needs to be changed - not that close to city center - everything inside looks beaten up and it’s in desparate need of renovation

    - jacuzzi - apartment is very spacious - shops and restaurants near location

    The apartment was in a poor condition, the walls were dirty, rooms were not clean, one bed was broken as you can see from the pictures luckily i didn't fall through it, above the jacuzzi you had to make sure the plaster doesn't fall on your head. The bathroom radiator was dirty.
