Disliked: Cleanliness
Host responded quickly to questions. I was not happy with the cleanliness of the apartment. Shower curtain filthy, sheets stained,bathroom walls were not wiped, large stain on sofa. No effort to clean the balcony chairs filled with spider web. Kitchen was clean with sufficient equipment. Lots of potential, would not stay again due to cleanliness. When brought to host attention he asked what I was talking about as he said the apartment was clean. Grocery store very close. Extremely pet friendly.

Ce complexe immobilier de qualité propose une gamme étendue de services, offrant une expérience comparable à un séjour tout compris. La variété de la foire alimentaire permet de choisir parmi plusieurs options culinaires. Les installations sportives, notamment la salle de sport, sont bien équipées, et les espaces aquatiques sont agréablement aménagés. L'appartement est confortable, propre et doté d'un équipement complet. Le seul point à noter concerne le bruit occasionnel causé par les aboiements des chiens des voisins ainsi que le claquement des portes. En dépit de cela, notre séjour a été très satisfaisant.
