“Worst stay”
+Location was good
−Infestation of sewage flies that covered the bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and hallway. We were given insecticide to spray them but it made us all uncomfortable to stay in the place and made the place smell of chemicals whilst we were there. There was mould on the bathroom ceiling, the toilet seat didn’t fit the toilet bowl and there was a cracked cupboard in the kitchen. The garden is packed with rubbish so not a nice view when opening the blinds in the morning. The main bedroom blinds are really thin meaning we woke up very early due to how bright it was. There was cat poop on the astroturf just outside the entrance of the property which stunk. The sofa bed latches are broken so the additional piece moves when you sleep and the main bedroom is two single beds put together so you can feel the line between them.

“Reality didn't meet expectations”
+Good sized rooms. Kitchen quote well equipped.
−The animal faeces on the astro turf out front that we were able to admire for 20 minutes whilst waiting for a message with the keybox code should have given us a clue of what to expect indoors. Inside the apartment is spacious, and at one time was probably lovely, but now it's urgently in need of some tlc. Only one of the 5 internal doors had handles that worked. The kitchen units had seen better days. The loo seat was too small for the loo and wasn't attached to the bowl. The bathroom sink, whilst allowing water to escape eventually, was obviously blocked and took ages to drain. The whole place desperately needed a good clean and maybe we shouldn't mention that the only clean linen on the bed were 2 pillowcases. Sadly we couldn't connect to the WiFi during our stay despite several attempts. On the plus side we found a large bag of frozen vegetables, half a box of crunchy nut cornflakes and an open sachet of coffee for our use. And in fairness when we contacted the owners about the bedlinen we were provided with a clean set, and a bottle of Shiraz as an apology. Our review seems to reflect previous ones regarding cleanliness in particular. Please owners, try to get that improved on
