Clean apartment but smelled rough

This apartment is in a beautiful spot and was very clean. The layout is great with common space on first floor and two bedrooms and bathroom on second floor. The major downside is that the entire apartment smelled like a dirty diaper during our stay. We were told it was the septic system by the sea but even keeping the bathroom door closed did not lessen the odor. Thankfully we didn’t stay around the apartment except to sleep, but it’s a large price tag a place that smells so rough.
