I was really disappointed with my stay. I was not expecting luxury but I was expecting a basic standard. There were too many things that did not function as they should have.
The air-conditioning was not working in the master bedroom - it did not cool the room and also leaked causing puddles on the bedroom. When I first reported it, I felt that I was being accused of having it on too long, thus causing the problem. This was not the case and the issue was not resolved for our entire stay. The owner also asked me to protect the floors from the water in the meantime!
Bathrooms - there were more than half the bulbs missing in both bathrooms, which I think is unacceptable, also easy to resolve but not resolved during our stay. The shower in the shared bathroom was such that the children could not have a decent shower and so had to share mine instead, again reported but not resolved for the entirety of our stay.
Bedrooms - the bedside lights in both the master and single bedrooms were defective.
Kitchen - I found this really poorly equipped. The dated toaster was broken, and it took 2 days to organise a replacement. There was a very limited amount of cutlery and glasses and bowls - the children had to eat cereal out of some very old plastic bowls. If we had been the whole family of 5 as originally intended, there would not have been enough to go around. There was no chopping knife or board, and so had to cut up a watermelon with a table knife and using a pet food tray!
The property feels very tired and run down. I found the reps quite rude when I was trying to communicate the problems - I am hoping that was down to the language barrier. The owner did apologise but that was the extent of the management of the issues. There was no offer of any form of compensation for the problems we faced and no great effort to put things right in a timely way.
On the plus side, the apartment is well proportioned and in a great location - if it was updated a bit, it would also have a really good vibe.
