The apartment was spacious and with a gorgeous view. We love that very much. We loved the fact that we could enter our apartment directly from the elevator.Inconveniences: at the beginning there was no internet connection.After complaining, the technicians came to fix the problem. They entered our apartment without a warning, that wasn’t so nice. The apartment had a nasty smell of a cesspit. The biggest inconvenience: it was difficult to find a parking space near the apartment. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/354bd740-4f92-45c2-88eb-236a0f033c4c-1751984776001.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [5 Star Hotels in Ubud](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Ubud-Hotels.s50-0-d12094.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Kevi Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lukove-Hotels-Kevi-Apartments.h40069575.Hotel-Information) > > [Dreams Curacao Resort, Spa & Casino - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Willemstad-Hotels-Dreams-Curacao.h39513489.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Tottenham Court Road Underground Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tottenham-Court-Road-Underground-Station-Hotels.d6145853.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Roomzzz Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Roomzzz-Edinburgh.h88842761.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Chicago](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chicago-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-0-d178248-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mangrove Beach Corendon Curacao All-Inclusive Resort, Curio by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Willemstad-Hotels-Mangrove-Beach-Corendon-Curacao-All-Inclusive-Resort.h40394671.Hotel-Information) > > [Elba Carlota Beach & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Antigua-Hotels-Elba-Carlota-Beach-Convention.h1680050.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance Wind Creek Curacao Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Willemstad-Hotels-Renaissance-Curacao-Resort-Casino.h2351342.Hotel-Information) > > [Newbridge on Usk](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Newbridge-On-Usk.h68603360.Hotel-Information) > > [Tribe Carcassonne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carcassonne-Hotels-Tribe-Carcassonne.h558308.Hotel-Information) > > [Curacao Marriott Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Willemstad-Hotels-Curacao-Marriott-Beach-Resort.h425833.Hotel-Information) > > [Grecotel Meli Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Grecotel-Meli-Palace-All-Inclusive.h2564520.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Lisbon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lisbon-Villas.d2080-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Sallés Hotel Pere IV](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Salles-Hotel-Pere-IV.h904455.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Des Moines](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Des-Moines-Hotels.d601690.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Shoregate Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagos-Hotels-Shoregate-Hotels.h15532135.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from George Town (PEN) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/pen/lhr/penang-to-london) > > [British Airways Istanbul (IST) to London (LHR) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/british-airways-from-istanbul-to-heathrow/ba/ist/lhr) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Gdansk (GDN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/gdn/manchester-to-gdansk) > > [Flights from San Francisco (SFO) to Birmingham (BHX)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/sfo/bhx/san-francisco-to-birmingham) > > [Flights from Southampton (SOU) to Paris (ORY)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/sou/ory/southampton-to-paris) > > [Air Serbia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Air-Serbia-Flights.cJU.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Activities > [Things to do in Lisbon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Lisbon.d2080.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Altea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Altea.d182272.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Barbati](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Barbati.d6052647.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Holiday Rentals > [Cheltenham Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Holiday-Rentals.d4597.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) ### General > [Visit Argentina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Argentina.dx8)
