We truly enjoyed our time at Loredana’s condo, the place is high end, with lots of space for a family of 5 like us. The view is also enjoyable, albeit partly obstructed.
On the downside, we think it’s important to bring up to any future visitors the major issue this building has when it comes to elevators. The wait to go up and down is unreasonably long, and luckily Loredana’s place is on the 14th floor so we took the stairs with our 3 kids and beach bag quite a few times. However, not everyone may want or be able to do that.
Also, there is mandatory valet parking that tends to take a while as well. So all in all it can easily take 15-20 minutes to exit the building, even when notifying them in advance.
Additionally, despite the quality of Loredana’s place which is standard in this building, we were disappointed by:
- the lack of maintenance: high end appliances such as Wolf oven and micro-wave had major hiccups, no cleaning products or tools were available at all (no vacuum or toilet cleaning brushes, only 1 very old broom)
- the very very basic kitchen utensils: no functioning bottle opener, we actually bought one and left it there:). No coffee mugs! In America that just seems surreal. We also bought one and left it there. Everything else was quite basic and missing some extras like a panini maker or a blender for example. A kettle would be nice too.
But overall we had a great time in a great condo, and we thank Loredana for having us.
