Overpriced and the description is not accurate

Booked last minute with 30% or so off. Would be disappointed if had to pay the full price. The premium bedding is not that premium. For me premium is at least 300 thread and not polycotton. Bed was noisy, shower door leaking, so by the time I finished the shower, the floormat was already soaking. There were no slippers and no paper towels in the kitchen as advertised. Towels are with holes.

Mycket trevlig personal i receptionen

Blev hänvisad till fel apartment. Lyckligt att den rättte hyresgästen accepterade att bli tilldelad en annan, vilket annars hade betytt att vi fått packa ihop och flytta till ett annat rum. Däremot faceigenkänning för att komma åt hissarna fungerade aldrig, trots flera omfotograferingar.
