Although the apartment is well situated and close to restaurants, supermarkets and metro stations, at the time of our stay there were several deficiencies that led to a feeling of disappointment. There is no washing machine, iron or ironing board; the bathroom is very cramped and the shower unit and bathroom cupboard need repairs; the bed collapses; the kitchen lacks basic cleaning supplies; the street is very noisy when the windows are open; dragging suitcases up three flights of stairs was physically challenging.
