The apartment itself was lovely, clean and spacious as advertised, however there were a few issues which we encountered during our stay which somewhat overshadowed this experience.
Shortly after arriving we noticed that there was no toilet roll in the apartment, despite purporting to include all of the 'essentials'. After scouring the apartment with no luck, we informed the hosts and were told that they could provide some the following day. As this was something that could obviously not be postponed to the following day, we had to purchase this ourselves.
Prior to arrival we were informed that the WiFi was not working and that the hosts were working on fixing this issue. In the meantime, we were provided with a dongle. This would have been perfectly acceptable but for the fact that we were asked if we wanted to top this up with data ourselves and then be reimbursed by the hosts. I'm not sure why this was necessary and the hosts couldn't have just topped up the dongle themselves.
The advert made much of the free parking included in the accommodation, and it was certainly a big attraction for us. We were therefore very confused to find a note left on my car windscreen on the morning after checking in which said that the space was allocated to a different flat and I should not be parking there. I informed the host of this immediately, and was reassured that this was simply a misunderstanding. The following morning I returned to my car to find that a bollard had been erected blocking it in and requesting that I call a number to get it removed. By chance, I happened to run into the other tenant who also believed that they had use of the space and we were able to amicably resolve the issue ourselves.
We were extremely frustrated to have to deal with this unnecessary hassle while on holiday, particularly based on the fact that we were sold an apartment purporting to include free parking and reassured by the hosts that this was not an issue.
