This could have been so nice but the condition of the unit is poor. On arrival the heating did not work and it took until the next to have it “repaired “. When it worked it was very noisy because the fan has no variable speed and is full noisy on or off. But a day later it luckily broke down again giving us peace and quiet. Luckily the manager who was very nice brought some electric heaters. However, the metro runs above ground here and start at 6 am. Making up for the HVAC unit. The roller blind in the living room did not work because the mechanism was completely worn down. One side of the towel rack came out of the wall. The kitchen has just a few utensils. There was no corkscrew. One corner of the couch sagged. We used a pillow on top to be able to sit less uncomfortably. The key lock to the apartment requires a certain speed. If you go to slow, it does not unlock. Neither if you go to fast. It needs to be just right. Some times I was just about ready to kick it in. The key lock to the apartment building works perfectly. All in all a frustrating experience. The staff is not the problem. The company chose the cheapest option for everything and clearly skimps on necessary maintenance as well. I am convinced that better quality would have saved money in the long run with happier customers. This is a good concept which could have been nice if it wasn’t so poorly executed.
