The property is a lovely spacious, modern, clean apartment BUT it was very dark as it has no direct sunlight, no view as it looks on to walls, it is next to to the train tracks which are in use all night long. They only provide one key despite four people staying in the apt. The host never sent me access instructions as I had a foreign mobile number so I had to chase them up. Finally, the apt building had no character at all. Not worth it!

The out door are was not clean at all. It needed a good scrub down. Wasn’t very pleasant sitting out there. We had one key between 4 of us which made coming and going a little difficult. Location is great. Close to everything. Clean inside with good ammenities.If you want to park on the street you will find yourself driving quite away as there is an island in the middle of the road so you can’t turn right. You have to drive a fair way to turn around. There is no view so it can feel quite closed in or private if you prefer that. Was quite hard to locate when we arrived as several blocks look the same. All in all a beautiful apartment just missed seeing the outdoors. Oh if you want to use the oven be prepared. It’s not easy to work out.

improvements are needed

1. There is no internet! Despite there being connections at no time did it work. You need to advise visirors that this is the case. i had to use my own phone to access the internet. Your network provider is inadequate and should be changed. 2, Your instructions on the use of the oven is unclear and inadequate. Please improve this documentation. 3. Instructions on how to find the outside garbage bins is totally misleading. I had to seek this information from another resident. The bins are not in the garage we used but in a seperate and different garage!! 4 I made an enquiry beforehand on the availability of an electric blanket in the accommodation. I was told explicitly that no such facility was available. However to my surprise there is an electric blanket installed. Please update your knowledge of the property you are managing
