Travel for two families (4 adults, 4 kids).

Excellent: Very well located apartment.

Positives: Modern, clean and enough room for all.

Okay: The greeting at the apartment with the housekeeping went smoothly, but the intro was minimal at best relying on us to ask all the right questions, such as how to work the TV, where to put the rubbish etc. There was cable TV but only news channels.

Negatives:

There is considerable street noise if the window on one-side are opened, but very quiet if closed. The fan in the bathroom upstairs was on continually and when housekeeping was contacted they replied 24 hours later that they already knew of this situation, which is poor since the fan can be heard quite clearly in the adjacent bedroom. I would have expected this would have been fixed before we arrived.

Bad:

The apartment is not air-conditioned as advertised. There is conditioning in only in one bedroom and this is downstairs. Consequently the two upstairs bedrooms with windows in the roof were like a greenhouse. The lack of AC then led to the following consequential problems. Either you use the fans provided (but these are noisy and just push the hot air around), or you open the windows. Unfortunately opening the roof windows at night invites in the mosquitoes and worse in the case of one bedroom and bathroom the windows are faced directly into the vent of the cafe/bakery downstairs meaning the rooms are filled with the increasingly sickly smell of cooked bacon etc.
Bottom line, we specifically chose this apartment because it was air-conditioned and we were travelling with children in summer, so obviously we were quite disappointed.

An excellent apartment, just not in summer.
