Our holidays were ruined because of this apartment and the management of this property. We were not able to use the pool and the responsible person disappeared and did not replied anymore when we asked for the partial reimbursement due to the pool under construction. The property is really in bad conditions, the pool area is extremely damaged and the quality of the apartment does not correspond at all the pictures. The building itself is also very old so the price is way too high and the agency who manages the apartment is extremely dishonest as they disappeared when we had such a Terrible experience. We are still waiting for the information from them regarding this issue…

View, location and cleanliness

The smell of pickles was overwhelming. I looked up why the place could smell this way and found out it was: "If you smell a strong pickle-like odor in your home, it may be the chemical formaldehyde. Although formaldehyde is classified as a dangerous carcinogen and a VOC, it is widely used in a range of manufacturing processes and products including adhesives, resins, preservatives, disinfectants and fixatives." I had also booked for 11 days and had to change my stay due to work and the host would not even give me a partial refund for the 5 unused days saying she couldn't book those, but I had given her 2 days before I was scheduled to stay, so she could have unbook those slots so someone else could book them. The couch was very old and uncomfortable. Everything is the unit is very dated. Also there was no coffee table to put my computer on when working on the uncomfortable couch.
