The location is about the only saving grace of this apartment. It’s in a great area, minutes walk to bars, restaurants and tourist attractions but considering the price we were being charged per night we expected a much smoother check in process and for the condition of the property to be in pretty good stead.
The terrace decking where the jacuzzi is housed had loose floor boards meaning you had to be fairly careful walking around the jacuzzi, one the glass panes that give you a view over the city when in the jacuzzi was cracked the whole way across and looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in a long time.
The bedrooms were a good size, beds comfortable and the shared bathroom was in good condition, however the en-suite bathroom had a few issues, firstly the pressure of the shower was fairly low and there was no way of adjusting the height of the shower head and secondly the sink didn’t drain correctly meaning you’d be stuck with a full sink just from brushing your teeth.
The check in process should really be made more clear on the description. After finding parking and travelling with suitcases we were told we would be able to go and pick up keys but when we arrived we had to go through and read and sign multiple documents, hand over passports all with no explanation as to what we were supposed to be signing until we asked.
All in all, if you can look past the rough edges and you’re looking for a central location, this apartment is great, it just needs a bit of TLC to be worth the price but as it stands we felt we paid over the odds.
