The apartment was very well located in a great neighborhood. Check in was smooth, and the apartment itself was well furnished with all amenities. The terrace was a great space to relax in the evening.
We cannot give a 5 star review however for the following reasons:
1 The cistern on top of the toilet was spewing water when flushing. This issue however was promptly resolved by the host.
2 There was a serious leak of water from the window above the kitchen (in a throughway which also leads to the bathroom). We note that this has been mentioned by previous reviewers. There was a lot of rain over 2 days during our stay which caused a lot of water to leak into the property and was a health and safety hazard.
The host did respond to our message about the leak, although informed us that nothing could be done until we left. The host was also quick to highlight that as no rain was forecast over the next few days the leak should be fine. The host attended the property and put a bucket under the leak. Note from photos that the area where the leak occurred appeared to suffer from a lack of basic maintenance. The host told us that the leak had been fixed previously, but that as there was no rain they could not test whether the leak was properly fixed. This could (in my opinion) have easily been tested by pouring water over the top to mimic rain.
Overall, an ok stay although could've been much better if the leak did not occur.
