Pros:

The afterhours check in with a code to the door was great, and a secured complex with parking.

Cons:

The aircons in the room were too loud to sleep on with. Kids were swimming in the pool at 2:30am. The floors were also sticky and not mopped with a clean mop, also the blanket in the cupboard was old and like something from your grandmothers in the 80's so only had a sheet.

The cons outweighed the pros on this place, we would not stay here again.
Pros:

Apartment is spacious with a good layout. The pool area is nice and we enjoyed swimming there on hot afternoons. The apartment overall was tidy and clean.

Cons:

There was no one there to check us in. When I called the number listed, a veery rude man demanded my credit card details for a security deposit. He got increasingly more rude and aggressive when I told him I wasn't comfortable giving my card details over the phone. He then threatened to cancel my booking.
The washing machine smelled AWFUL, like someone washed a soiled nappy in it. It smelled so terrible we couldn't use it at all.
The hot water barely got above lukewarm.

Pros:

Asunto oli rauhallinen, siisti, tilava ja viihtyisä. Lyhyt kävelymatka rantapromenadille sekä lähikauppaan. Uima-allas siisti. Alue rauhallinen ja piha aidattu.

Cons:

Ruokailuastioita olisi saanut olla enemmän, paistinpannut olivat kuluneita. Vedenkeitin puuttui. Käsipyyhkeitä oli liian vähän, ainoastaan yksi vaikka meitä oli kolme henkilöä. WC paperit, astiapesuaine ym. täytyi ostaa itse mutta tästä ei ollut etukäteen tietoa. Henkilökuntaa emme tavanneet kertaakaan.
