The location of the apartment was really good, we were impressed about how friendly the neighbourhood was and it’s near some parts of the city centre, but at the same time, away from crowds and loud noises.
We agreed to expect to meet somebody to provide us with the keys at 13.00. After waiting for 30 minutes and contacting the admin team via email asking for confirmation on estimated arrival time, I was advised someone was on their way. However, hadn´t I contacted them, I wouldn´t have received an update.
When entering the property, this hadn`t been opened to be aired prior to our arrival and smelt of humidity, especially the bathroom. We found the advertised photos of the toilet to be somewhat deceiving as it was in worse condition than shown in the pictures, and we don´t believe it had been properly cleaned. None of the rooms in the house smelt of cleaning products, fresh air fresheners cancelling any odours.
We were disappointed about the level of cleanliness to the point we bought some bleach as well as a sponge and washing-up liquid so we could do the dishes as we couldn´t find any. Also, we believed providing us with one towel for the body each for 5 days wasn´t enough and would have benefited from having at least two per head.
The apartment is very hot and it had a suede sofa didn´t help. There were two fans: one of which was broken and the other one noisy, and we couldn´t get the windows to close properly.
Overall, we wouldn´t recommend staying here as we didn´t enjoy our stay. There is so much that could be done with that space to improve it, from refurbishing and cleaning to decorating
