The apartment is in need of some TLC as it is quite run down. The bathroom in particular was in pretty poor condition and definitely needs updating. It was quite noisy from the upstairs apartment. Having said that, it had everything we needed and was in a good location.

Pictures on the web were false to what we got, broken items were found, dishes were not washed from previous customers, entire table and bedside tables were dirty, it said we had a queen bed and bedhead but we got a double with no bedhead and there was no couch like in the advertisements, there was mold on all curtains and bathroom blinds, the bathroom near the pool was collapsing and had a massive hole and plaster all on the floor....would not recommend

Average accommodation, great amenities in the property but apartment barely was set up, no amenities like a basic wine glass or cooking utensils, not really an apartment. The bed was comfy though and clean, bathroom large but smelled funny. The tv didn't work and no side table where the power point was. Little things but for the money I'd stay in a hotel.

The unit is nice along with the facilities, but as for the internal cleanliness of the unit they gave us, it was too low, the bathroom was in very bad condition, the living room area had a lot of dust and in the kitchen most of the drawers are falling apart, the intercom does not work, it is worth clarifying that one takes a hotel service and it took me by surprise that in my 7-day stay I only had one time of cleaning service and the only thing they did was make the bed. I wonder why they did not clean the rest of the unit? They are also not clear from the beginning and then they make it known that the entire apartment must be delivered clean or they will pay from the 100 dollars they take as a deposit. It was a nice time but they must improve in many things.
