Unfortunately the stay was disappointing.
The apartment was desperately in need of maintenance, as a result it was a difficult stay (and quite dangerous in some areas). See below for full details.
Having requested compensation, the host offered an insultingly low figure and then blamed us for causing damage, and denying problems which were reported on a timely basis and acknowledged by the host over mobile messages.

To highlight also some slightly misleading aspects of the listing.
A) 1 bathroom is in-fact an en-suite within a bedroom, which is an important privacy consideration (particularly if the other bathroom doesn't work which is what happened to us!).
B) The main bathroom is small and very low ceiling. If you are anywhere near 6ft then you'll probably struggle to use the shower.

Full list of problems we encountered are below.
1) One bathroom has no hot water at all for the duration of the stay. Host tried to fix but couldn't
2) Ensuite and bedroom flooded due to blocked plug hole on first day, I managed to fix it myself by plunging it... but this was really basic neglect of maintenance and cleaning ahead of our stay.
3) Broken Toilet seat - The toilet seat in the upstairs bathroom has been broken throughout our stay. The host acknowledged this and said it would be fixed, but it has not.
4) Broken Stair runners - Visually this was difficult to see, but we realised the carpet on the stairs was sliding around and on closer inspection at least 4 runners were broken. This was dangerous in our view and could have resulted in one of us falling down the stairs, thankfully it did not. Host had the audacity to blame us for this.
5) Dodgy air conditioning - Its worth noting that the host will fine for leaving the air conditioning on whilst out of the apartment. As a result we were trying to ensure that it was turned off each time we went out. Unfortunately however after doing this a
few times one of the air-cons (downstairs) stopped turning on which meant some
very hot and humid nights trying to sleep. Another one was not responsive at all and so was stuck in a permanently low setting.
6) Shower button - For those guests who had no choice but to have cold shower. (7 guests trying to go through 1 shower ahead of a wedding was not possible!)... The button in the upstairs shower does not stay positioned and so it is difficult to use and needs almost constantly holding in place.
7) Damaged clothing - The chairs downstairs do not have their covers on (maybe they were being cleaned). Be carefully because this caused £100s of damage to various items of clothing as they are easy to brush against
8) Hand-soap dispenser - was completely broken for the duration, you'll need to bring your own hand soap
