The reason I’m giving an overall three stars is because the pictures aren’t set out to what this place really is. While Anna and her team were great with communicating, flexible with check in time, had someone come in and clean the flat before we had arrived.. and the location of the flat is great for tourists, there were so many things that you start to notice that are just not quite right. At first you’re greeted with a very lovely flat, it’s decorated and cleaned/organized nicely. As you continue your stay you start to see everything that is really wrong.
The kitchen is missing a working microwave, when you use the sink it starts to smell of something unpleasant (like the drain has something clogged in it.) There’s only a tiny trash can beneath the sink. And the fake vinyl is coming up from the floor like it was just laid on the existing wood beneath but not properly put on.
The living room was a bit awkward. The couch did have a bit of an unpleasant smell like someone sweat on it pretty bad. The dining room table is in an awkward spot especially with the door of the living room completely blocking a couple of chairs.
The hallway has a very dirty, stained rug. When you look up, there’s a small door above the bathroom door that’s leaking some sort of orange/brown liquid.
The shower to the bathroom is a bit weird. While I loved the shower head, getting the handle to turn to a proper temperature takes a whole half hour to figure out. The handle isn’t properly put on and you either get too cold or you get really hot water that’s unbearable to stand under. The sink is a bit funny also, if you even lean a little bit against the sink it will push the faucet of the sink to the wall and turn off the water.
The bedrooms are a great pleasure to look at, but trying to sleep in the beds is very uncomfortable. The pillows are so over used and old that they’re not only flat, but the fitted sheet overtop of them doesn’t disguise the dark yellow color of the pillow itself and the smell of every single persons head that has slept on them before. The beds were made up nicely, but the sheets still had pre existing hairs from whoever was there before.
And lastly, there was a police report spotted at the bottom of the stairwell regarding a “forced entry.” While Anna and her team were quick to address my concerns over the issue and told me “it was a neighbor who was trying to get in,” I was fine with that answer until I saw the dent in the front door of the complex that has clear tape plastered over and is the size of someone who was punching/kicking it. Not sure if the two are connected, but when you’re in a place far from home, you are always concerned for your safety.
