Great location, if you don’t want to cook at home.
Pros:

This property is in a great location and the suite gives the property extra space for eating at home, albeit there are limited cooking facilities. One thing to note is there wasn’t any functioning window’s, meaning getting fresh air in and cooling the property after a long hot day was not possible.

Cons:

As above, not being to open windows in a non air-conditioned property meant the room was quite warm at the end of a summer day.

Practical and spacious
Pros:

Very clean, spacious and complete with a range of useful furniture. It was also nicely decorated and the sofas and beds were comfy. The shower had good water pressure. There were teas and coffees available which was a lovely surprise.

Cons:

From the photos, i had the impression the beds were in a separate room within the apartment. Instead everything was in the same room (2 sofas, 2 beds, kitchen), basically a studio apartment, so we had to do a bit of noise management.

Si buscas ubicación está ok
Pros:

La ubicación excelente.

Cons:

El colchón chico e incómodo. La ducha no tenía buen desagote. La sala tiene una mesa de vidrio qué hay que esquivar para no golpearse, muy grande e innecesaria. Hay una sola mesa de luz.

Malgré les inconvénients développés ci dessus, l’appartement correspondait à ce que nous pouvions attendre
Pros:

Deux pièces séparées

Cons:

Difficulté d’accès à l’arrivée : nous n’avions pas les 3 codes pour accéder à l’appartement. Nous avons perdu 1 heure pour contacter l’agence.
Attention : ni four, ni plaque de cuisson.

Disappointed, overpriced, and grubby - would not stay here again.
Pros:

Location, but that is why I booked it.

Cons:

The bedding was not clean, I found several hairs on pillows, on top of duvet and in between the duvet and sheets - I have very short hair. I looked like the bed had already been slept in and not changed from previous guest. The bed was extremely uncomfortable. The requests when ‘checking out’ and cleaning, particularly as they were serviced apartments, I felt was unreasonable and a bit of a cheek considering cleanliness on the whole was very poor. I felt very uncomfortable in the bed, it did not smell fresh and the pillow slips were grubby. The bedding was also very worn with rips and holes in it. The property was very basic, I didn’t even have a fork to eat my food, and was very worn/dated. I understand the high price I was paying was for the location, but the fact I couldn’t open a window in the middle of a heatwave was ridiculous. Not only that, but I was on the back of the police station with single glazing so heard a lot of commotion and sirens during the night. No staff at the desk at any point to make my concerns known, only able to call reservations and speak to someone to get into the property. Very disappointed given the cost of the property, I expected something better and comfortable, and a little less worn/dated/grubby.
