We were concerned with a few objects found under the bed, we had a small baby and were concerned for her safety, the bathroom door didn’t shut correctly and there were a few objects underneath the bed that were dangerous. Also didn’t like that the bed was a double and not a queen bed. Thought it was overpriced for the size of room and amenities The location was great and the room was modern

Given the abundance of warnings we were given by John about what my dog could or couldn’t do I thought the apartment would be clean and the furnishings new. The place was filthy and I was glad I bought a blanket for the couch so my Dog & I didn’t have to sit on it! Missing slats in the blinds meant the sun woke us early. Not that we slept well, the pillows were cheap and useless The dining chairs were ripped & gross. The air conditioner was so loud we were worried to use it in case it bothered the neighbours. Paid a premium as it was unfortunately the same weekend as a football game - thought it was odd John was happy to tell me we were being ripped off! So not value for money!
