Our stay at the cactus: I’ll try to be as neutral as possible!
First we asked for an earlier checking which they agreed one so good point for Louis 👍🏻! BUT, arriving there first surprise, we are paying 70$ of cleaning fees but the appartement is not cleaned... like not at all!!! Especially the oven, the coach (full of pet’s hair) and the floor🧹 (which hasn’t seen a vacuum for a while!). Second surprise the main closet’s door is broken and there is only 1 hanger... I’m an optimist 🙂so it would be easier to take our coats, and we’re here for only 2 nights, so we’ll be all good! We started to set up the appartement to our stay and I heard loud music, so i asked my husband and mom why did they put on this kind of music? Ok our 5 months old is used to sleep anywhere even with loud noises but I don’t see the point of trying to wake hi u from his nap🤦🏻‍♀️! Answer: they haven’t started the music this came from downstairs 😯... so you can participate to their conversation and parties!😬
So until now : not clean, broken closet and very loudly... oh I forgot only half of the lights are working, I mean literally there are 2 spotlights lines and only 1 works, same in the bathroom! 🤔But the appartement is well decorated and we love this neighbourhood (I used to leave there). We spent an ok evening (following the neighbours conversation and listening to their music but it didn’t bother our 5 months old so that’s ok!) We’re going to bed,🛏 being woke up several time by noises and a 5 am my baby starts screaming murder: weird he usually sleeps through the night (7pm-7am, we are very lucky parents!!!🍀), so I get out of the bed and omg it’s freezing 🥶in our room, ask my husband to check on the heaters (an old system with water): they’re cold! Going in my baby’s room it’s even colder there! Poor little thing his hands and ears were iced cold! 🥶Check on the little thermometer 🌡we have with us when we are travelling for his room it’s 15 Celsius degrees!!! So I took him in our bed to finish the night. Reaching out to Louis about this issues: the building is noisy but not suitable for families (we, the adults, were the ones bothered by the noise, not the baby), the heather are set up at 22 degrees, but it was not even 16 degrees in the room, he doesn’t seems to think it’s Brocken tho... 🤷🏻‍♀️ no answers about the Brocken closet or the lights not working... not sure from how long it’s been this way! and nothing would’ve done for the heater so we asked to cancel the second night we should have spent there (no way I’d put my baby to sleep in a freezer again!!) Second good point for Louis he agrees but telling me we should have paid attention to the add telling that the appartement is not suitable for babies, because of the noise... again our son was not bother by the noise! He was bother by the cold at night and sleeping at 15 degrees is not suitable for any humain being!!!
So if you plan to stay at the cactus, make sure they have fixed it before, and I hope you’d enjoy sharing your stay with the downstairs neighbours! 😉
PS: thank you if you’d read this until the end!!!!! 🙃
