Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### masood s. 18 Aug 2024 Liked: Communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Good location and that was it The description did not fully fit what we saw and experienced. The check in was not straightforward as despite the fact we gave ample notice from the airport we still had to wait 30 minutes before we were allowed in the property. The property is advertised sleeps 8 but there was only bed for for 5 people and the apartment was only big enough for for 5 people as the dinner table could only accommodate for 5 people. The location is great in terms proximity to the public transport but it was noisy. The gentleman host whom we met was somewhat abrupt almost bordering on being rude. The washing machine malfunctioned halfway through with our clothes stuck in it for 2 days whilst the host was trying to get a service person. At the end we googled the problem and sorted the problem out ourselves. Although most of the flat was ok in terms of cleanliness, there were areas behind the doors that had not been attended to for a while with an insect splattered on the wall behind one of the doors. The bathroom mats had also seen better days. The shower head was broken in one of the showers and shower hose was not functioning and it took one week for that to be fixed. The common outdoor area advertised, was very common and was shared with several flats and was very noisy regardless of the time of day or night. Although we had booked the apartment for 2 weeks, the host was reluctant to change the towels and sheets despite the very hot weather and only changed the towels only when we insisted ##### masood s.
