Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Castle flat
The apartment was relatively clean and tidy.
We did not get our breakfast package we pre ordered, after a couple emails and phone calls, determined was an oversite, a bit disappointed.
But we were reimbursed our money.
So thanks for that.
The clothes washer did not have clear instructions on how to operate, we had to research and google, still not clear.
Wasted a lot of time figuring it out.
Key lock box system works very well.
Windows were very difficult to open and close.
Main bedroom window, was stuck in open position slightly.
Walls by kitchen table, signs of not being cleaned.
We were forwarned about the door keys and may need to wiggle keys back and forth to gain access, which was a bit cumbersome.
Overall, decent place.
