The apartment we were given was actually the Very cozy apartment (per descriptions on Hotels.com), so I can't say whether the Renovated apartment is better or worse. There was a cleaning fee payable onsite, which was in the small print on the website, but I had not noticed. There was only 2 of everything in the cupboards, 2 glasses, 2 cups etc, so not much washing to be done and we would always clean up before we leave, I think any such fee should be embedded in the price.
The location was convenient but the area feels a bit rough. Only a couple of mins walk to the more touristic part though. The zoo is also very close, right beside the train station.
The stairs to the apartment were steep and long, no lift and the sliding door doesn't work between the living room and the bedroom. Having a separate sleeping area was a main reason for booking an apartment rather than a hotel. We had to contact the owner to find out how to work the water.
The apartment was clean and roomy though and the owner was helpful in resolving issues and there was wifi and a decent selection of television channels.
