Merkel Villa Apartamente

We’ve stayed here numerous times and it’s a perfect place for us given that we need to be in this area. The property is well managed, clean and has everything we needed. A huge improvement is the new internet router which helped to keep WiFi stable during our stay. We also love the balcony facing the back of the property. A lovely bottle of wine on arrival is a very nice touch.

The shower enclosure has been leaking for some time. It can also get quite noise since the property is facing the main road, but this noise is eliminated if the windows are kept closed.

The quality of interior furnishing is outstanding.

There is a noisy street just outside.

Great location and free onsite parking! I lived here before so I was pretty familiar with the area. This apartment is located approximately 1.5 miles or 2.5 km from downtown. Awesome if you’re driving like we were. The only challenge is finding parking downtown during peak hours if you’re opposed to garage parking.

Only downside if you’re not driving is there are no attractions or restaurants/bars in walking distance.

Location and the amount of space for our family. It was bigger than it looked in the pictures It was well equipped

1. The staircase between floors does not have a proper handrail - there’s nothing to grab if you slip. I think that is quite dangerous. It made the over 60’s in the party quite nervous going up and down stairs. It would not be difficult to add a proper handrail. 2. The upstairs basin was totally blocked - I tried to report it via the ‘contact host ‘ message . We were very busy so I didn’t ring, we left a note at the end 3. The floors were quite dusty around the edges and under the sofa. We only noticed this because the children lost bits of jigsaw under the sofa.

It’s a great apartment in a very convenient location for what I needed

I’ve had issues with WiFi on a few of my stays here but I very much hope they’ll get resolved before my next stay!!
