Lovely apartment, good location, ample free car parking, safe, secure and quiet apartment unit despite its location on a busy main road, good sized double and twin bedrooms, plenty of storage space for long stays guests. 👍👍👏👏👏. Based on those points it would have been a great stay for us but it failed on some very important aspects which I always expect when staying either in hotels or AirBnB accommodations.
BEDS: probably the cheapest mattress available in the market. Very thin and I felt the springs poking my back. I used the duvet from the single bed as padding. The sheets, pillow cases and duvet cover does not smell laundered at all (really smell very bad) so I used my shirt to cover the pillow and slept in my dressing gown on. I really don’t mind cheap beddings as long as it is clean! 😫😖
HEATING: the temperature dipped to 11C so it was cold. The central heating didn’t come on automatically. We tried to locate the heating system but it’s probably located in a locked cupboard. We lounged wearing our jacket, we slept in our dressing gown, coats and socks. I felt like crying. 😭
TOWELS: the towels are white but there are yellowish stains. The smell is so awful. We used our clean clothes to dry after bath and shower. 😫
BATHROOM MAT in the main bathroom: Renata or whoever is the caretaker forgot to change the bathroom mat after the previous guests departed. The mat reeks of stale urine. 😷😷😷😷
TELEVISION: old but it’s still working if tuned. There’s only one channel! 😂😂😂
SOFA: the armrest on both sides (the charcoal coloured sofa) keeps falling off. It needs fixing or replacing.
GARBAGE: There was no instructions on where to dispose the garbage. We looked downstairs at the back of the building and around the car park to dispose our garbage before we checking out but no such luck. Against my practice, we had to leave our rubbish in the hallway.
Renata’s place is lovely and has a great potential. I hope she will addressed the above mentioned issues for her future guests’ comfortable stay.
