Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
The apartment was really lovely and as described and perfect for our birthday celebration. Unfortunately, when we arrived there was a lot of broken glass all over the balcony which we didn’t realise until we stepped on it barefoot. We couldn’t find the outside bins as they were not where described. The access to the property in the evening was stressful as it is located in a very busy bar area which had people queued up to get. Security wouldn’t let us in to get to the apartment and we had to queue up. I wouldn’t recommend staying here with children due to the access in the evenings.

Entry

The apartment was very good and we have no complaints at all. However the check in was less than perfect. They sent us an email to a phone to give us the entry code. We were unaware of this so arrived and could not get in. We had to phone up to get in. They were very helpful.
