Acceptable, But With Issues

convenient accessmissing shower doorbathroom maintenance
The location offered convenient access. It was close to the places I wanted to visit.
The bathroom showed a lack of proper maintenance. The shower lacked a door, resulting in water spreading across the entire floor after each use. This should be fixed.

i found the kitchen options convenient also the laundry too. the location worked fine for my plans i valued the controlled covered parking it felt secure. i was glad to find a fan i thought it worked well to keep the place cool.
the bathroom had a wet room design it was not installed correctly. water from the shower went everywhere i noticed it did not drain well. my entire stay the floor was a pool of water it was a safety concern.

spacious apartmentcomfortable apartmentmodern facilitieshelpful staffwrong apartmentdisgusting bathroomnarrow bed
the apartment was spacious and comfortable. I found it very clean with modern facilities including a coffee machine and tv. the staff were helpful when required. I asked about places to eat and needed help with the luggage storage.
first of all WE didn't get the apartment we had actually booked. we had initially asked for a 1 bedroom with sofa bed in the living room but instead got 2 bedrooms with slide door inbetween accompanied by an accessibility tailored bathroom. the bathroom was quite disgusting tbh, there were stuff in the toilet that you usually get when it's not cleaned regularly. the single bed was very narrow, i think around 80 cm wide because I almost fell off several times and had to put out cushions as precaution.
