Awful apartment

Very disappointed with this property. The suite was outdated with mould in the shower and bedrooms. Kitchen cabinets were falling apart. Holes in the wall in the bedroom. Shower rusted. Smelt damp. Some of the lights not working. Did not feel like cooking here kitchen units smelt damp. Only 1/2 a toilet roll provided Other than that good base for day trips

We were impressed with the space, decor and cleanliness of the property but had a few issues. First, there was a leak of some sort in the bathroom. We mentioned to the manager but nothing was done. Next bugs! They came in under the sliding patio door! Lots of them! Lastly the dryer stopped working. The manager responded promptly to emails but nothing was done to resolve the issues. Granted the dryer was only on the last night. Still, 3 stars is generous

The view of the property is great! The location is also great - you can walk food and shopping within steps. The main issue I ran into with the property is communication and maintenance. The shower did not drain in the master bath so I emailed the property manager and they said they would come and fix it right away but they did not. Also, the dining room chairs were not stable at all. One just fall apart when my wife tried to site on it. (my wife is a petite size.) It is a huge liability - not sure why they would keep using them. I also messaged them about it and it was not fixed during our stay. Also, there is no tissue box anywhere in the apartment and they provide only one small piece of soap per bathroom. So, you need to bring soap or just buy them locally. These last two problems are not huge issues but a pain when on vacation.

Stay at this property was good/average.There were some few issues which was resolved quickly by the team. The major issue is the ants which the property’s manager has to deal with, just cannot say out of their control because of the warm weather. Property location is the best.

Tired apartment

There is no reception, nowhere to leave luggage, and the communication is poor. I got a text message saying to text if I need anything and when I sent a text they never replied. The apartment is old. There were broken drawer handles, the sink drained very slowly and the toilet flush button got stuck regularly. On the plus side the view was amazing
