The apartment building needs a decent refurb with the pool/playground areas extremely tired. The actual apartment has a "shabby chic" feel but is packed with large piles of old magazines (as a design feature I guess), which were troublesome for us with two small children. We would not re-book with the kids. The main bedroom AC unit was exceptionally noisy and during the night gives an impression of a helicopter landing in the room! Other facilities were fine and the paid-for maid exceptional. The building's staff were also extremely helpful and smoothed our stay considerably. The "super-host", however, was most unhelpful and very patronising: he was on a plane during our check-in and then very dismissive of some initial questions we had about hot water and showers; we gave up asking him for guidance as I didn't want such condescension during my holiday.
