PROS:
- The apartment is very well located, close to the bus stops, shops, lovely restaurants
- The view from the balcony is stunning
- The booking, check in, and communication with the team was excellent. They even arranged an airport taxi to collect us when we arrived. When there was an issue with the balcony furniture it was replaced.
- Great socialising space downstairs with the kitchen, and living room. This was exactly how it looked in pictures.
CONS:
- The apartment is very tired, and could do with some upgrades. E.g the furnishings are not as in the pictures. All of the bed covers were exactly the same as each other (and not very good quality), and there were none of the cushions, throws, decorations etc as in the pictures. The curtains were flimsy net curtains.
- Every bed in the apartment was so squeaky it woke people up at night with the slightest movement (although the mattresses themselves were very comfortable, it was just the squeaking bed frames that were the issue!)
- There was a broken glass window in the main bedroom that hadn’t been fixed
Overall, the apartment was cheap and so the quality wasn’t awful for the amount we paid. The location and the balcony were the best bits. And the communication with the hosts was good both before and during our stay, they always replied to emails and messages etc. I appreciate that the host fixed the patio furniture etc, but I feel as though these things (including the broken window) should have been fixed before our arrival, we shouldn’t have had to complain about these things whilst we were there.
