Its a good thing I am writing the review after a couple of weeks. It has given me a little time to reflect and come to the conclusion that despite initial reactions the apartment was quite good.
It has a great location and is of a good size with a very good layout. The bedroom is large and the bed is very comfortable. Ample storage space to put away luggage and clothes. The kitchen is of a good size and well appointed with all appliances working smoothly. The bathroom is small but not uncomfortable. Overall the place is quite good as far as value for money is concerned and the location.
Areas to improve would include attention to cleanliness as we had to give the place a work over as soon as we moved in. The couch in the living room needs to be replaced. It is disgusting. We had to a bedsheet on top of it before sitting.
