Nice flat
Great location
Amazing views across the harbour
Noise of drilling (3 jack-hammers) and angle-grinders every working day, all day except lunch breaks, from the major construction works of an office block nearby meant that the balcony was unusable 6 days of the week (8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m./7 p.m., later on Mondays), being in the living room was also not relaxing as the noise was still audible over the television. This meant we preferred to be out until 7 p.m. every weekday & Saturday to be sure it was finished before our return (on Saturdays it finished earlier).
We feel it’s disingenuous and misleading for the listing to lead with a photo of the amazing views when currently they cannot be enjoyed during the vast majority of daylight hours.
The flat was not cleaned properly, we asked for it to be vacuum-cleaned which was done promptly (there wasn’t one in the flat for us to use), we mopped the floor ourselves as it was less intrusive to our holiday to just get on with it and had enough to complain about with the noise. The wardrobe shelves were dusty enough to make the clothes put on them visibly dirty, this was quickly cleaned but could equally have been quickly done by the cleaners.
We appreciated being able to check out 1.5 hours late due to our flight time.
