This is a cute place with a great location - but sadly there are many crucial problems - most importantly - it is not clean.
As it is managed by a large company rather than an individual, the attention to detail is very poor - and means that problems get missed. Very sad as had high hopes for this place!
My honest positives and negatives below:
Negatives
*Not clean
- sheets were old smelly and ripped, with multiple holes. Host admitted that they should be thrown away but still did not replace them for our trip. My Mum and I both got bites from our night spent here.
- Oven was filthy and full of crumbs.
- Towels were filthy - one had a large brown stain all the way down it...
*Basic amenities were missing - toilet roll, bath mat, drying up cloths - when we arrived sheets and towels were also missing - and were not replaced until that night, meaning we couldn't shower or nap after our long journey.
- Toilet roll holder broken
*Noisy - be aware that you are right on the ground floor on the street - so it is very noisy at times. There is also a school right next door so kids screaming for a lot of it.
*Light - also there is a street lamp right next to the place and the curtains do not cover the whole window - which means that the place is lit up through the night.
*Only one key for hosts, guests and cleaning lady to share - means that every time you leave the apartment they ask you to leave the key in the lockbox which is a real faff!
*Washing machine was broken for the whole of our stay - with dirty laundry trapped inside!
