the girls who (a) answered the phone and (b) met us at the apartment were charming. however. i would have reservations recommending this property to anyone else. firstly. although clean, the place smelt fusty and was constantly full of flies. the grill / oven did not work. the freezer was so ice bound it was impossible to use. there was no first aid kit in the cupboard marked 'first aid'. there was no shower mat. the toiletries were barely sufficient to cover the few days of our stay and not suitable for washing your hair. But most disconcerting was the glass wall separating the bedroom from the bathroom which meant there was no privacy, whether you were taking a shower, a bath or indeed sitting on the toilet! this anomaly would make it unsuitable for two couples (there was a sofa bed in the living room). also, the bathroom sink was in an open 'hallway' styled area connecting the bathroom, bedroom and main entrance to the apartment, again, no privacy. we only had one bedside lamp. also, a number of ceiling light bulbs were out. the whole apartment was low lit and dingy. there were minimal attempts to make the apartment 'homely' and there were holes on the walls where pictures / mirrors had once been. when i have stayed at an apartment before, the basics such as salt / pepper / oil / vinegar were included. not here. there was a confusion over sundry payments which i will not go into here. the time delay in replying to emails (or not) was a little worrying.
