The apartment was okay for the money. We we’re a little underwhelmed if we’re honest as we didn’t feel the pictures truly reflected the condition of the actual apartment and had perhaps been taken a long time ago.
The apartment is situated close to tube stations but it is a 30 minute walk to any of the main places that you want to go to as a tourist.
We were asked to pay €45 extra on arrival for tourism tax which I feel we should have been warned about or had it cleared beforehand. We had to pay cash and it all felt a little underhand.
You only get one towel per person which really wasn’t enough for us staying for 5 nights so I would take some of your own towels.
There was plenty of wardrobe space and the window/door on the balcony was beautiful with its old outdoor shutters. However, it really could of done with a blind inside as it is overlooked. There were the fittings for a blind but it was missing.
The girl who greeted us on arrival was lovely, a little short with me on the phone when we couldn’t find the place and put the phone down on me twice but I think this was due to her being very busy and a little language barrier over the phone perhaps. Her English and manor face to face was awesome though.
The beds were comfy and this is a great place to stay if you want somewhere cheaper and basic but what you save in accommodation you do end up paying in transport (unless you’re happy with the tube as that is a lot cheaper than taxis).
It’s all relative I suppose but I personally would do more research and spend more on accommodation my next visit.
