I won’t stay here again
Pros:

The staff were pleasant to deal with

Cons:

Despite being cleaned within 24hrs, there was mould on the shower wall and ceiling. There were also long black hairs in the toilet and on entry floor, as well as a decent amount of dust in most corners of the whole apartment - these were not cleaned at anytime during my 3 night stay. Sheets that were used also had marks on them and ‘tufts’ of dust that were clearly visible.
