Although small, the apartment looked decent when we first got there. The view was nice, I'll give it that. Then we started to notice all of the problems.
There was no welcome book, or information at all. We had no idea how to get to the pool or hot tub. Or how to use the gym. I had to ask for the wifi information, and was told it was the sticker on the router. The one that comes with it from the cable company.
The countertop was greasy. I could wipe it off with my finger. Even if it were wiped off with a damp towel it would have been cleaner.
There were zero condiments or anything in the fridge. Not even any left over from previous guests. And minimal utensils, dishes, cups, etc...
The leg on the couch was at an angle. When we tried to pull out the sofa bed, it came detached because of the gap.
There was a huge tear/rip in the carpet. Not something that happened recently. This had been worn down after years.
The bathtub was rusty, and there was exactly two towels. And one generic shampoo/conditioner bottle. Not very helpful for a 4 night stay.
These would have all been useable on their own... but added together they were not pleasant. But, the worst of all was the bed. It was the worst bed I have ever slept on. The mattress was uncomfortable and the pillow was darn near flat. On top of that, the mattress was covered in plastic. So, anytime one of us got uncomfortable and tried to roll over, which was a lot due to how bad the mattress was. The plastic bed cover would wrinkle and wake the other up. My wife finally gave up at 5 am and stayed awake to read.
It was a horrible start to her birthday weekend. Luckily the host let us cancel the subsequent nights. So, we were able to move to a hotel, which was a much welcome reprieve.
