The apartment was absolutely lovely. It was clean, it was a good size, it was well-equipped. Check-in was very easy. Communication was excellent. The free gifts (coffee pods, water, two bottles of drink left in the fridge, some crisps) really made my day when I arrived. I honestly heartily recommend Numa.
The only downside was the Wi-Fi, which was down for my whole stay. This was really crucial. I presented six talks at an international conference, two of which I needed to write while at Numa. This required internet access. Unfortunately, the lack of Wi-Fi was almost disastrous for my stay. I wrote the talks using a tenuous 4G connection using my own data, and it took so long that I only had 4 hours sleep on two consecutive nights.
What’s more, my smartphone reset itself on the last night. With no Wi-Fi, I couldn’t restore it from the backup meaning that I couldn’t get directions to the airport, get an Uber or even call a taxi. I was kindly given 15% off the bill for the first night only for the inconvenience, but I’m so tired as a result of all this. I know it wasn’t Numa’s fault, but I think they should seek compensation from the internet service provider and pass that on to customers.
For anyone reading this review who’s considering staying at Numa, providing the internet access issue has been sorted I’d definitely recommend it and I’d definitely stay again.
