"Building is under construction until summer and this was not mentioned anywhere before I booked. Due to this there is now no parking on site which is also not mentioned when you book. Night shift front desk was a total jerk and gave no information about anything so he should not be in the customer service industry. The rest of the staff however was fantastic and the location was very nice and close to all the restaurants and pubs so walking around was easy."

8/10 Good
"The apartment was spotlessly clean, furniture was nice, and the location was central so very close to the railway station, shops, restaurants and bars. When I booked the apartment the confirmation email stated there would be a person at the apartment to give us the key. When we arrived the main entrance was locked and a note on the door saying the key had to be collected from another location, there was also a telephone number. I rang the number explaining this was different information than the confirmation email. I went to the location to collect the key, nobody there although they did appear a couple of minutes later. This may not sound like a big deal but if I had a large suitcase or if it was pouring of rain I would have been extremely annoyed, or more annoyed than I was. If the email had given the correct information regarding collecting the key then the review would have reflected that."
