Not enough pillows for how flat they were. No additional pillows or blankets. Carpet was a trip hazard and raised in certain areas. Air con required maintenance and was very noisy. Tv only worked for selective channels even though the channel was there. No direction given for floor access from car park or where the lift is to use to get to rooms.

This is definitely not a 4 bedroom apartment but a 2.5 bedroom. The main living area is via a small spiral staircase which makes is hard to take up your suitcases.

This is basically student accomodation dressed up as apartment accomm. Lots of hard wear on the apartment and incredibly noisy. Would not recommend.

Cockroaches and dead flies in the room, and it definitely was NOT a deluxe one bedroom apartment - the photos provided by the property are very misleading and we ended up in a tiny room with a double bed (not a queen) with a balcony overlooking a carpark.
