The rooms need a deep clean and the redo. They are falling apart and dirty.
Pros:

The views were lovely.

Cons:

The rooms were not clean or maintained. Our cutlery was dirty. Our cups/mugs had chips and stains on them. The fridge was literally falling out of the cupboard space. The bin in the kitchen still had food in it from previous guests. The balcony has bird poo all over it. Overall, the apartment needed a deep clean.

Didn’t feel clean
Pros:

That it had a kitchen

Cons:

Dirty and uncleaned upon checking in- bin wasn’t emptied, dirty floors, bed sheets had stains, dirty couch/couches, ripped/dirty dining chairs. (Toilet made noises all night) we have two small children so was very disappointing and felt very germy having the children on the floor.

Definitely one to put on my "never stay there again" list
Pros:

The location was good as it was tucked away from the main parts of the citt

Cons:

The carpet smelt funny, the kettle has a thick layer of build up on the bottom, there was no extra blanket in the wardrobe, no bottle/s of water complementary in the fridge, no complementary milk in the fridge to go with the coffee sachets they provide. There's probably more but at this minute do not remember.
