Overall I enjoyed my stay at the apartment it was close to lots of amenities and a less than 10 minutes walk to the corniche.
It was relatively clean and provided a good split of beds, 3, 2, 1 and 1 in the rooms. There was also a lot of halal food places nearby, which was quite handy. Fridge, freezer, iron, cooker, microwave all worked like a treat.
The local information from the host was really useful.
There were a few minor thing's that impacted our stay however. The big clock didn't work which was the main feature piece why we chose the apartment and the walls need a splash of paint as they were no longer white (perhaps go for beige next time). One of the shower head holders in the shower was broken. This was not good considering we had a party of 7 humans. Yes we could have just held the shower head, but if you're paying money to stay somewhere you do expect basic things to work. The other issue was that only one of the toilets was lockable and this causes a few near misses when the toilets were being used. That would have been traumatic!
I did get the feeling we were rushed out of the apartment most, likely due to the adjacent apartment needing cleaning and the owner not wanting to hire the cleaner for an extra hour or so until our later departure.
I also felt insulted that the owner felt the need to count the towels like we would steal them. Maybe it's a common occurrence for AirBnb owner's? Then again, they do need to protect their investment...I guess it's just that it could have been done a bit more discreetly.
