Bar, který neexistuje is right across the street

Komfortní byt se skvělou polohou. Byli jsme velmi spokojeni.

clean apartment in the city center of Brno , Everything we need is available in the apartment.

Malý prostor, ale najdete zde vše, co potřebujete pro kratší pobyt. Jediné minus je asi to, že slyšíte veškerý hluk z chodby.

Neighborhood
Je to úplné centrum a ulice je celkem špinavá (psí extrementy atd.) a po ulici se občas pohybují pochybné existence. Na druhou stranu je to opravdu všude blízko.

Byla to skvělá volba. Bydleli jsme tam v 6 lidech (včetně 2 dětí). Dost prostoru, slušná kuchyň, takže vaření šlo krásně jako po másle. Dost prostoru pro děti na hraní doma, když není dobré počasí. Postele velmi komfortní, super krásná koupelna s velkou vanou a 2 umyvadly, pračka. Takže z více než 90% jsme tam dokázali udělat vše, co děláme doma. Lokalita také skvělá, kousek od Znojemského náměstí, bylo to kousek do mnoha obchodů a také na mnohá turistická místa ve Znojmě. Doslova jen pár set metrů pěšky na různá místa, což nebyl problém.

Komunikace s majitelem skvělá na výborné úrovni, ve všem nám vyšli vstříc, dokázali jsme se domluvit na čemkoliv. Takže za nás skvělé, hodnotíme pouze kladně.

Občas je hlučné v noci, jelikož tam jsou poblíž hospody, ale nic závratného.

Určitě, kousek od bytu Znojemský hrad a Rotunda, Znojemské podzemí, parky pro děti, kde si mohou hrát. Pro léto koupalistě, ale to je asi 3km autem. Poté poblíz Znojma určitě Freeport na nákupy V Run Off (a.k.a. Vranov), což je také místo pro děti na hraní a určitě vranovská pláž.

Perfect location, fully renovated flat with a cozy balcony. What more could one wish for?

Neighborhood
Even though it is a smaller city, there is everything and there is a big selection on shops.

Apartment is nice, but it needs more attention on details such as: general cleaning, lights and sinks.

Bes city center

El apartamento en general está muy bien, es muy bonito, acogedor y sobre todo muy bien ubicado, está al lado del centro, se puede ir caminando a todas partes y a pesar de estar en el centro no hay nada de ruido, es muy cómodo. Hay cosas del apartamento que creemos que se podrían mejorar para que fuese perfecto, pero son pequeñas cosas que si el propietario quiere se pueden modificar sin problema (poner mampara en el baño, arreglar las persianas, poner algo más de menaje de cocina...) son detalles pero yo lo recomiendo y si volviese a ir, volvería al mismo sitio. En cuanto al propietario, le doy un 10, tuvimos algún problema con alguna cosa que no funcionaba bien y enseguida nos atenderieron, vinieron a verlo y a arreglar lo que pudieron, les pedimos un microondas porque solo tenía dos fuegos para cocinar y lo entendieron y nos lo trajeron, muy amables, muy resolutivas, muy bien la verdad.

Neighborhood
Es una zona céntrica, con mucho movimiento, tiene todo tipo de tiendas, está al lado de una calle peatonal con tiendas de ropa, restaurantes...a 5 minutos caminando hay dos supermercados pequeñitos pero con todo lo necesario para el día a día. Está muy muy bien, sobre todo en casos con el nuestro, que fuimos para una estancia de dos meses, no teníamos coche y no conocíamos la ciudad. Nos resultó muy cómodo estar ahí por su ubicación, al lado de todo pero muy tranquilo, sin ruido.

I rented for 14 days but i was allowed to stay only 13 nights
The charge for final cleaning was too high
When the contract was signed nobody told my about this high amount for cleaning
The WiFi was too slow

Everything was just fine

Ubytování bylo úžasné, stejně jako velmi vstřícný a transparentní přístup paní Havlíkové, která zastupovala ubytovatele. Jsme nadšení naprosto vším.

Spolupráce s majitelem bezproblémová, příjemné jednání, rychlá odpověď. Byt má svoje mouchy (myčka, jedno ze světel), ale rozloha a poloha v centru jsou prostě skvělé.

Tl;dr: breathtaking incompetence and rudeness from manager at Bohemian Estates. Flat itself OK but very dark, uncomfortably furnished and not very secure.

We experienced a very poor level of service from Bohemian Estates throughout our stay. Here are three examples.

1. On our first day in the flat we reported that the microwave and the extractor fan needed fixing, and that we wanted a second set of keys. The repairs (within 24hrs) and the keys (next working day) are mandated by the contract.

In six weeks staying at the flat, no attempt was ever made to repair the extractor fan. The microwave was replaced after two weeks, when we asked Flatio to intervene. The second set of keys was delivered after 11 days.

2. Given our dismal experience with the above necessary repairs, we took care of the following ourselves.

a) Mop broken and missing its head,
b) Hoover dismantled and with a single, full, disposable bag,
c) Main ceiling light, designed for circa 16 lightbulbs, has only four,
d) Dishwasher empty of salt and rinse aid (neither provided),
e) Glass-topped table cracked,
f) Shower leaks terribly due to ineffective door seal.

3. Our agent at Bohemian Estates was very rude. For instance:

a) Repeatedly (falsely) accused us of breaking the microwave (see above),
b) Showed up completely unannounced at our door with a client to view our flat,
c) When we refused the above viewing, we suggested a different time to which she never showed,
d) When we inquired about another one of her properties, she repeatedly changed the rental price. When we inquired as to why, she first accused us of misremembering. Then, she admitted that she was unable to remember the rental prices of the 25 properties under her management.

Should it interest the reader, we have the full transcript of our WhatsApp conversations with the agent in question. These verify all points in 1. and 3. We sought to complain to her superior at the company, but found that (according to Bohemian Estates’ website) she has sole charge of their entire Brno short-term letting operation.

Finally, a security concern unrelated to Bohemian Estates. The flat is situated on the ground floor, low enough that passers-by can easily look - or even climb - in through the only exterior window. Compounding this, the building is situated next to a nightclub and a park - which, whilst beautiful, is frequented by large numbers of homeless beggars. On multiple occasions (even with restricted opening hours due to Covid-19) we encountered beggars and revellers leaning in through the flat window while we were inside. High vigilance is therefore required when staying at the flat, particularly in warmer months.


Based on our experience, we can happily recommend Flatio but warn strongly against Bohemian Estates.

Neighborhood
Beautiful and practical, but the park (Denisovy sady) is frequented by large numbers of beggars.

The flat is located in a very nice location in the old city. It is within walking distance to all the nice places. It is also very close to the tram and restaurants. The flat is also very spacious. Our only problem with the flat was with the cleanliness especially the cleanliness of the kitchenware. In short we had to clean all of the kitchenware before we could use it.
