When the time comes to review a property, we have to be fair by highlighting not only the bad sides but also the good ones.
Let’s start by what we liked. The location is great, it comes with two bathrooms, a parking space and the pools are perfect when you have kids. It is well lit and the balcony gives you a nice view of the city. Those are the main reasons why we picked this unit. Instructions to access the parking and unit were clear and comprehensive.
Now, what we disliked. The unit is pretty small. The backsplash mirror in the kitchen gives a false impression of a quite large unit. Although it sleeps up to six people, it is too small for that. Two people have to sleep on an uncomfortable sofa bed. It is not made for 6 people but 4.
The unit is not as nice as it looked in the pictures. The carpet has many stains on it, there’s also a spot that is ripped. It is so dusty that we had some difficulty breathing after 3 nights. Window frames, baseboards and cabinets are dusty. Shower grout that used to be white is now black at the bottom, glass has spots and looks dirty, soap holder is cracked. One of the toilet leaks. The white walls are so dirty in the secondary bedroom. The whole place definitely needs a new fresh coat of paint. Hand stains, you could find some on the cabinets, the walls and windows. Kitchen faucet was slack.
When we got in, we were seriously wondering if the unit had been cleaned. Overall, the unit needs some maintenance and the cleanliness was way below the usual standards.
During the booking process, the owner looked very serious by asking for many identity documents. However, we now feel he doesn’t look that serious about keeping the unit in a good condition. Also, he had some harsh words when we let him know that the unit was not very clean. He did not trusted us and was not friendly at all. We did receive a small compensation from the owner but we don’t keep a good overall experience of this place.
We hesitated before sending this review because we received a message asking us to only send good comments but we were so disapointed of the place that we couln't let that one go.
