The apartment was completely filthy. The first night we arrived my 3 year olds feet were dirty from walking around on the filthy floors barefoot. Over the next few days we noticed the complete lack of cleanliness. There was bits of food in the cupboard, old food stuck to the end of the bin and the surfaces had not been cleaned properly. Everything felt sticky. There was a lot of mold both inside the shower and in various corners of the bathroom. The shower was blocked so all the water gathered at your feet. There was also a collection of bugs that made an appearance from under the shower at night.
The noise in the apartment was horrendous. We had a couple of stormy nights during our stay. There is a loose gutter that rattled all night outside the apartment. There is also a noisy generator in the apartment.
The bedsheets were bobbled and completely worn and need to be replaced. The duvet covers had stains on them. The cushions in the living room were torn and covered in stains. The blinds in the bedroom are old and broken and didn’t close properly. The lights from the builders yard behind the apartment shone into the bedroom all night .
The whole apartment smelled. I think there is a smoker on the first floor and the smell comes through the vents in this apartment. As we were travelling with my 3 year old son we couldn’t open the windows to air the place as none of the windows on this third floor apartment had locks.
When we were preparing to leave we looked under the beds to ensure we had not left anything behind. What we saw was an array of underwear and socks (none of it ours) and dirt and dust that looked like it had been there some time.
The only positive point about this apartment is the location. It is central and has good parking available.
