The apartment location was fine and convenient to local supermarkets and restaurants but the amenities could be upgraded just a little, as another post has suggested.eg install light globes to all light fittings; renew bed linen and fix the bathroom tiling.

Excellent view and proximity to gym and the pool. But don't expect too much privacy with the blinds open as the pool area and gym has an excellent view of the apartment bedroom and living room spaces. Take home message -with Airbnb: confirm what you book is what you get - we thought we booked a fourth floor apartment in a 32 storey building not a first floor apt in a four storey building.

Brian was a gracious helpful and hospitable host but he is a manager, not the owner of the apartment.

Final comment on BA generally - do not trust the taxi drivers to (a) know where they are going; or (b) to give you the right change. Always always always check for fake notes. And beware of the great bird shit scam where pickpockets will fleece you of your wallet and or cell phone while pretending you clean you up.
