We expected some measure of hospitality professionalism to make a month long stay comfortable.
Not as described:
"This apartment has been completely renovated and decorated by a renowned interior designer."
"All the furniture is new and has been chosen with care."
Maybe years ago, but certainly it has not been maintained or cleaned professionally. We rented a crash pad.
Kitchen was not well equipped:
no cutting board, no dish towels, almost no cutlery, cups or glasses, and all the none stick pots & pans had scratched surfaces with the non stick coating flaking. Ceramic cooktop was not clean and had a snapped-off large corner piece glued on.
The nespresso machine was caked with layers of calcium, not fit for use.
The clothes iron had black material burnt onto its surface.
The "new" Italian shower had a clogged drain. The shower head mast was almost detached from the wall, and there was black mold on the latex sealing moulding.
The shower's unreported issue is the sliding door opens only to a 13.5 inch wide. You have to enter sideways if you're thin enough.
The apartment was obviously heavily used because the area rug, couch, throw pillows, bed pillows, pillows were worn and had stains.
"Located on a quiet street" There are too many restaurants in the immediate area and the noise continues most nights until after midnight.
Even though the apartment manger did immediately respond and eventually replaced most of the items, the apartment remained heavily worned & soiled.
