First up I have to compliment Brian who made our check-in process so smooth. He collected us from the airport as there was a taxi strike and the bus queue was very long and unmoving. Overall he was so accommodating and easy to deal with.
The apartment was clean and as pictured, but a lot darker than expected - there was only natural light in one room and the rest of the apartment was dark if the lights weren't on. This wasn't necessarily a bad thing, just unexpected.
I did try to contact the office to ask about something (where to put the trash when the bag was full) and didn't hear back, which was a little annoying. Also the vacuum cleaner was broken and as we didn't locate the sweeping brush in the outside utility until our second last day, we had lots of crunching underfoot due to the sand we brought back from the beach!
Aside from those relatively minor issues, it was a lovely stay. A great location if sightseeing is your thing, a quiet neighbourhood with plenty of facilities, and near to the Metro too.
