The apartment could have been cleaner. Under the toilet seat was unhygienic, and we had to wash all the glasses before using them as they were covered in dried food or detergent (possibly from the dishwasher). There was even hair in the freezer, and ants in the kitchen meant we couldn’t leave any food out on the countertops.The apartment itself was smaller than expected. Only three coat hangers were provided across two wardrobes – not nearly enough for a family stay. The toilet door also didn’t lock, which was inconvenient.We stayed at the end of September, and the pool was too cold for the kids to use. At night it was noisier than we’d have liked, as the apartment is right on the road. I can’t imagine being able to sleep in summer with the windows open.Overall, it was okay for a short stay, but with a few improvements in cleanliness, amenities, and comfort, it could be much better.
