The apartment is dark as the sun barely reaches through the windows.
Although the sunlight is beyond the owners control, putting good illumination is not and still it wasn’t done.
The apartment must have some sort of electrical problem because 70% of the lamps do not work.
This means in addition to not having sunlight, there is also no artificial illumination.
The kitchen for example, doesn’t have any windows - it has 3 ceiling lights and only two are working.
The lighting in the entrance hall, the dining room, the living room and the laundry space are all not functioning meaning the entrance of the apartment is always dark, dining has to be done with a bedside lamp on the table, the living room is mostly enlightened through the windows and at night through the tv (the strongest light on the living room is the tv) and laundry has to be done with the bathroom door open or the cellphone lantern.
The double bed on the suite is extremely uncomfortable and noisy. We believe the mattress is either old or of poor quality. The pillows are the same. I had never seen lumpy pillows before. I don’t know if these are poor quality pillows, if they are very old or if there are lumpy pillows available in the market but they were hard and uncomfortable and we ended up buying our own.
The suite’s bathroom doesn’t have any furniture in so your things have to be either outside the bathroom or on the floor (the second bathroom has a small furniture piece where you can leave your things). The shower had to be cleaned with an overnight soak of chlorine to remove mole and dirt from the corners.
The drain is often clogged after quick showers.
The cable tv in the bedroom does not work.
The apartment is advertised to have a sofa bed which it doesn’t.
We tried to use the vacuum but it was making weird noises. We decided to open and see what was happening. We had never before seen a more disgusting vacuum filter - it most probably has many years of use and was never changed - probably the reason why the vacuum doesn’t work properly. We cleaned as much as we could so we could use it but we were very shocked.
The apartment is advertised to accept dogs but the keys were not given to us until we gave out a 900 euros extra guarantee because of the dog (12 yrs old, 8kg dog).
