Pros:

The wardrobes were filthy, the bedside cabinets were filthy. I had to wash outside and inside of bedside cabinets they had years of dust on them inside and outside. The wardrobes were very old fashioned cheap wood. Could not store clothes in them as they needed a good clean so had to live out of suitcases. Only about 6 hangers in wardrobes of different shapes and sizes Rest of accommodation great.

Pros:

The location, the facilities and the layout of the apartment

Cons:

We found a bandaid stuck on the bedhead (single bed on the right hand side as you walk into the room). It appears the bandaid has been there for a while as the plastic part was very hard to remove. I’d recommend a good clean of the bed frame in case there are other bandaids. Photo attached.

Really enjoyed it
Pros:

No breakfast. Location great

Cons:

Kitchen accessories short of a few things e.g. funnel, not enough dishtowels. Perhaps also try and put shade clorh over the pool. We missed not being able to sit outside in the evenings....
