Pros:

Unfortunately nothing apartments are very old, full of mould and disgusting.

Cons:

The mould in the rooms,carpets are disgusting ,not clean, dishwasher and microwave are filthy,no cutlery all in all I think that those apartments should not be operating at all.
Another thing we didn't like was the service from the lady at the reception.
Unfortunately for us we had to move to another hotel from the apartments because of the state they are in.
