Disliked: Cleanliness
Dirty upon arrival
Whilst this apartment was a great location and good size, it was very unclean upon arrival. There was sand on the beds, all over the floor, and the floor was sticky and oily which was not ideal with a 1 year old crawling around. I tried to vacuum and mop the floors, but the vacuum was blocked and the mop was filthy. The coffee table and other furniture had not been wiped down and had coffee stains and dust all over them. There were incorrect sheet sizes left for the bed and the bed was very uncomfortable. Disappointing when you are paying a decent amount of money for accommodation. Definitely would not recommend.
