Pleasant apartment

It was a pleasant change to be welcomed in person when we arrived. The apartment was clean,comfortable and well-equipped. My only quibble was with the traffic noise as the bedrooms are close to the main road. The apartment is only a15 minute walk to the centre of the city and there is a supermarket nearby. Ideal for a couple or two.

One window jammed in the open position. Door lock jammed by broken key. Both showers unable to produce anything except a scaldingly hot jet of water. Apart from that, everything fine.

Nice, but......

#31 has lovely private roof terrace w/ views, nice layout, two bd two ba. Good proximity to historic sites. Our property manager (Jordan) was responsive and patient with our requests, however he was unable to fix physical problems with this property. Major negatives: Lack of upkeep in general: the lift, the bin room were filthy. Mediocre cleaning in the unit, poorly supplied, broken shower tap made for scalding shower, bad matrices, broken shade in one bedroom, broken or loose toilet seat, and dirty area rugs. All of these are the owner's responsibility rather than the property managers, as stated, he did a fine job. The value wasn't here, we would not book it again.
