So first the good... Communication with the host was good & the location was excellent unfortunately that’s where the good ends! Bad... Where to start! Getting into the apartment was like trying to break in to Fort Knox with multiple codes & keys needed but this is a minor quibble & I could accept this if everything else was ok, but it wasn’t .. What I can’t accept is the following... 1. No mention whatsoever of the construction site opposite which meant we were woken at 7am everyday.. The apartment itself hadn’t been cleaned properly as we found mess everywhere inc. under tables & chairs. There were awful stains on the sofa & the stools as well as the sheets. A simple clean would have fixed this! The bathroom sink leaked very badly, so much so that it seemed to flood every time it was used for more than a minute. There were no sponges or mops to tidy this up either! The back of the couch was also broken and the beds / mattresses were of very poor quality. There were multiple hazards for young children as items such as towel rails had been removed but the sharp hooks /screws, to fit these, were left exposed. Old stale bread had also been left in the cupboards
which we had to clean out! We have pictures
of everything if this gets challenged! Everything was really squashed in & felt cramped. To top it off we paid for 2 x parking spots for each day! The 2nd spot already had a car in it so we parked ‘illegally’ in the adjacent space & were lucky not to get fined but even more annoyingly we booked in order to use the space on the last day but were informed that we had to vacate at the same time as the property (10am) which felt like a complete rip off. Noting all the above & the endless list of ‘fines’ that were threatened if we didn’t do the most basic of things meant we had a very unhappy stay at this apartment which was a shame! The host really needs to consider all these comments & rectify the problems immediately. Very disappointing!
