The good:
The apartment was absolutely lovely. So spacious and light-filled. The location and view was as perfect as the photos suggest. I couldn’t have been happier with the overall experience. Games, items for outdoor activities and reading books provided to suit all kinds of guests. The check-in and out process was a little inconvenient but not a huge headache once it was over. Laundry bits and pieces made it easy to avoid the hassle when returning home after the trip. Loads of Tupperware containers and other kitchen items provided.
The less-good:
The housekeeping/cleaning could be reviewed by management. Cutlery, kitchen utensils, cooking equipment, etc. needed washing before use and we had to make a trip to the shops for products such as dishwashing liquid. A few packets of dishwasher powder was provided, but upon arrival you wouldn’t expect to load the thing up before actually eating or drinking. If the daily rates were lower, the small things like stains on the couch and outdoor furniture etc. would have been overlooked. Toilet brush had remnants from previous people and same with kitchen scrubbing brush. Just little things that could do with a finer once-over. Considering the cost, one would expect a little more cleaning between guests.
The other thing to be aware of is the street parking. My car was vandalised overnight. This is no fault of the owner, however, something to consider for future guests.
Overall:
You can’t look past the friendly staff and ideal location. The renovated bathroom is very nice and the apartment has a warm, homely feel. Definitely would return. Thanks for a lovely stay!!
