Stylish 2BR in Belair, Walk to City & Parc Merl

Yes it is a beautiful apartment at a convenient location and you pay for that, which is ok if the other points were met.

1. We arrived very late. Past 11pm. There were no lights at the corridor of the entrance so it was very difficult to figure out the numbers of the locks especially when they were low down as well. The lights did not work when you enter through the door and we had to feel the walls along the stairs till we find another switch. 2. No lifts but I know in Europe many apartments have no lift. Luckily I had help with my bags. 3. I asked for a late check out shower but was told it is charged at 10 euros per hour after 10am, so I decided to shower before check out. Unfortunately the heater and hot water were already turned off! We could not shower and the place was starting to get cold. 4. The tea bags are pretty old. Quite sure some are expired as the words on the labels are fading. 5. There were no condiments for cooking. With such a nice kitchen, there's no basic oil or milk. Most apartments with kitchen will have at least some basic stuff. 6. There was no detergent for washing dishes by hand. There was a dishwasher but I don't want to wash a cup using a dishwasher! 7. No decent shower stuff. They provided little packets like three star hotels which were hard to tear off. Just can't be bothered after that. 8. The tap in the toilet was so hard to turn your fingers hurt just trying to turn on the tap! 9. They keep asking for our passport photos even though we had sent! I feel more like a criminal than a guest. I understand their concern but they have to sort out their admin process to have a better customer experience. If you do not have wifi or roaming, you will be stuck.

Property is very centrally located, close to transportation and grocery store. Walking distance from city center.

The window in one of the bedrooms wouldn’t close, the maintenance person promptly came the next morning to fix it. According to the listing I expected the apartment to have a washer/dryer. It didn’t have any.

Very cozy, location wonderful!

Excellent location a short level walk from the centre. Supermarket, pharmacy, bakery etc right on doorstep. Comfortable beds, lovely strong shower. Easy check in instructions. Great WiFi.

Big plastic palm tree in living room - why?!! Drain smell from shower on arrival, though that thankfully cleared after use.
