We choose this apartment because of its location. As with most accommodation it had its good and bad points which I have tried to outline fairly below. It is reasonably priced, which is important if you are intending to stay for an extended period, as we were. The apartment is bright, well laid out and had all the usual kitchen aids you would expect but the crockery could do with a bit of an overhaul. We had one or two issues with appliances ‘tripping’ the electricity when turned on. Suspect they had been dropped and damaged and had not been reported prior to us getting there but they were replaced fairly swiftly when reported. We found it to be quite a warm apartment and never used the heaters provided. There was plenty of hot water and the towels and sheets were changed once a week by the cleaning staff. However, there were some negatives. The apartment looked ‘grubby’. I know you do not expect a rental property to be as clean as your home but you do expect a reasonable standard, especially as it displays the ‘safe and clean’ sticker on the rental booking form and you cannot gain access until 4 p.m. to allow for ‘extra cleaning’. All I can say is the cleaners must have missed this property out as our first task was to pop to the supermarket and buy cleaning products. Please don’t get me wrong, I am not some type of cleaning freak, I don’t have OCD but I do not expect dirty fingermarks on doors, walls and tables. The dining table was so filthy it took 4 times scrubbing it to get it clean enough to eat from. The cushion covers on the sofa were so dirty I could not bear to touch them, other than to remove them to wash them (I have photos of the water colour). Generally, the whole apartment is overdue for redecorating and soft furnishings need replacing. The weekly clean is hardly sufficient to do anything other than scratch the surface and it requires a good, deep clean. There are issues with building maintenance and the lifts. Sadly, I cannot recommend.
