Pros:

Die Lage war grossartig, direkt über dem Nightmarket, von dem man aber dennoch nicht viel hört im Zimmer. Der Parkplatz und die Aussicht vom Balkon aufs Meer war toll.
Leider bekamen wir als erstes ein Apartment mit Schimmel an der Decke, als wir darauf aufmerksam machten, bekamen wir ein neues und wegen den Unannehmlichkeiten sogar noch einen Wein geschenkt, was wirklich toll war.

Cons:

Grunsätzlich lässt die Sauberkeit etwas zu wünschen übrig. Im ersten Aparment war wie gesagt der Schimmel, im zweiten fiel uns auf, dass das Sofa sehr schmutzig war (mit diversen Flecken) und auch Schubladen und das Geschirr in der Küche waren nicht sauber gereinigt.

Pros:

Every time I stay I am always very happy with everything! This time I upgraded my original room to an ocean view. This was on the 7th floor so great views.

Cons:

After several times staying here I still don't really like the shower and the scary possibility of setting of the alarm!!

Be wary of mould and age
Pros:

Great view from our room

Cons:

Room had black mould on roof, on walls and in bathroom. Furniture has visible wear signs. Hand wash was watered down to the point where you question if there is any soap left in it.
