The positives: great location, comfortable bed in master bedroom, reasonable price, fantastic restaurants next door, close to many amenities including the airport shuttle bus
The not so good: this apartment needs some basic repairs and repainting. Eg the cover on the hot water system and one cupboard were held on with sticky tape, the breakfast bar is held steady by an old piece of cardboard, a kitchen shelf is on an odd angle. There is an unpleasant smell in the bathroom, which we were told was due to it being an old building. We eventually found the switch to the fan, which helped with the odour. The sofa bed is very uncomfortable. Paint is peeling or is scuffed and dirty, and the apartment generally needs a bit of love.
It was difficult to get hold of the apartment manager, which started from the beginning of our booking. However, someone did attend the apartment on Christmas day to sort out the TV, which wasn't working, and provided some cleaning materials for the drain in the bathroom. This man was very pleasant and helpful. There is no information in the apartment, except what has been left there by previous guests. And the rules about the bins and check out.
There were no personal touches, and even the WiFi password had to be read from the bottom of the modem. Not a big issue in itself, but just a small indication of a lack of thoughtfulness.
Although it says it is suitable for 4 people, everyone would want to get on well for this to be comfortable. There were 3 of us.
