We stayed here for 2 weeks. In hindsight we believe this is not the place to stay for 2 weeks as the basic amenities are not up to scratch however there are some good points.
POSITIVES
- perfect location
- balcony is very large
- terrace area available is also large
- really easy check-in process
- air conditioning is modern and effective
NEGATIVES
- communication was poor. We were sent an automated message just before arriving and lots of details such as Wi-Fi were incorrect. There was also information inside the apartment that contradicted information sent via message and this was also incorrect.
- cleanliness was a big issue. The shower was incredibly mouldy and we bought our own bleach spray to rectify this. The sink was blocked and therefore smelled. The apartment was very dusty on arrival also.
- we experienced a fair amount of ants in the apartment also.
- light fittings were hanging precariously off the ceiling.
- kitchen did NOT have everything stipulated in the original listing. There is no oven or bowls. We struggled with this for 2 weeks.
- despite the balcony being a brilliant space, the outdoor furniture is old and put rust on some of our towels and clothes.
- despite being in the apartment for 2 weeks we were told we had to pay for extra towels and bedding which in our opinion is outrageous. Surely one change per week is reasonable.
- the apartment is in need of some repair and is dated. Cracks in floors, walls and the toilet seat need repairing.
- the steep 3 flights of stairs didn’t pose a huge problem for us apart from trying to lug 2 heavy suitcases up and down. These stairs are not suitable for older people or children.
- the back door to the terrace did not have a key and we asked about this. It did not shut properly and with the stormy weather, the door kept opening at night.
