A good find that was comfortable for 3x Adults and an 11 yr old on a long weekend
Pros:

Ok price for a 2-bedroom apartment on a long weekend. Had 2x Queen beds and 1x Single

Cons:

Kettle could do with a good clean (vinegar and baking powder) inside or a replacement. Looks ok from the outside but inside needs a clean. Freezer needs a defrost. TV remote looks like it needed new batteries.

Satisfactory stay for price and location
Pros:

The apartment had everything you would expect. The bathroom was more modern and clean. The bedrooms were a bit more dated but clean and acceptable. We didn't use all the kitchen facilities but it was a good size and had all the utensils we needed.

Cons:

It was really cold the night we arrived and it took a long time for the little heater to warm up the whole apartment. We slept with our bedroom door open so the heater could heat our room. There was an extra heater in our bedroom but it smelt very dusty and we didn't want to risk using it as we had an infant with us. We were able to use a portacot which was good it just hadn't been used in awhile so had a storage smell.
