First the good bits - excellent location, very close to Metro station and close to supermarket and shops for supplies. Reception staff were welcoming.
The bad bits - extremely run down apartment, the photos may have shown what the apartment looked like several years ago but now....
They insist that you hadn't in the key to the apartment anytime you leave the building.
The towels provided had yellow stains on them. They were not changed once during our entire stay. The apartment was dirty on arrival and not cleaned once during our entire stay - someone came in and emptied the kitchen bin and the bin from one bathroom daily, that's it.
Please note that there is a bin the second "bathroom". The term "bathroom" used loosely here as the shower was not functional and the toilet seat was not attached to the toilet. This second bathroom was part of the master bedroom which had been divided with a sliding door as an afterthought. Unfortunately, the door slides over the main light switch for the room and regardless of whether the door was in open or closed position, you couldn't reach the light switch as the door was over it! The headboard for the bed is not attached to anything, just propped against the wall. There is a bedside lamp but nowhere to actually plug it into as the only socket in the room is required for the radiator.
In other bedrooms, sockets were handling loosely of the walls with wires exposed. All the pillows were lumpy. Beds were comfortable though.
The main bathroom door does not close. We were a party of 6 staying and had to use a chair to jam against the door and hang something on the outside of the door to signal the bathroom was in use. There is a lock mechanism on the door, but it has been painted over, like all the other locks on all the other doors. The bottom of the shower screen does not the top of the bath as the rubber seal has rotted away, so water sprays all over the floor regardless of how careful you are. There is no towel rail, no hooks, no shelves in the bathroom but at least we had the chair that was used to jam the door shut to put clothes on whilst showering.
There are numerous broken parquet floor tiles, which makes a tripping hazard.
The once cream coloured dining chairs are covered in numerous stains and dirty marks. The sofas have no padding - when you sit down, you hit the hard surface. They are also extremely filthy. The rug in the living area needs a good vacuum and wash.
The kettle in the kitchen has a broken switch so does not flick off once the water has come to the boil. The toaster only works if you hold the switch down until your bread is toasted to your satisfaction and you let the switch go. There was insufficient crockery for even 6 of us even though the apartment is meant to sleep 11. Only 4 glasses, no wine glasses. Reception were not willing to give us anymore as they "needed them for breakfast" They had no ice available and no ice cube tray for us to make our own. No sharp knives, no chopping board - not self catering friendly at all!
Washing powder and dish detergent did not appear until our 3rd night (we were staying 4 nights and had already gone out to buy some by this time)
