Cold stay and Out of the way location
We had read the numerous mixed reviews for this apartment but decided to make it our 2-day stop discovering the nearby cities. Caretaker Antonio was helpful and cheerful. We drove from the opposite direction and missed the sign to the apartment. There was one other family in the building and they had late night noisy BBQ party over Christmas till early morning. Our apartment was upstairs and when we moved in there was only one portable heater for the entire place. It was so cold we got Antonio to provide another 2, which still could not warm the place. On checking the doors we realised the sliding doors could not lock. Antonio came back to check but could not solve it and we had to improvise by using the mini golf putter to hold the door close. We then tried cooking but realise there was no electric kettle to boil water and used the pots. They were so old and dirty that require replacement. Water could not boil after 20-minutes and there was a layer of oil after 2 rounds of voiling. So much for cooking. Bedroom was OK but the squeaky metal frame bed should be changed. Bedsheets also need attention as they smelled of cigarette smoke. Could not sleep because of the smell. Worse was the toilet. Water pressure good but the floor perpetually wet as no ventilation and shower screen doors have gaps leaking water out. Overall needs upgrading. Location is out of way. You get what you pay for.
