Misleading and disappointing
Pros:

The property has a good location and the room had a good view

Cons:

The room was poorly maintained with stains on the walls, mould on the shower floor, stains in the bath. The pillows smelled bad. The curtains were unclipped on the rails, making it look bad, as as well as holes in the curtains. The images on the advertisement does not reflect the condition of the room. There was a mouldy smell in the bathroom and the place does not represent a boutique hotel rather furnished apartments Rooms are not clean towels are small and stained. This is not what was expected based on the rating and images online.
