The property itself is outdated, which is okay. However the room we were in was not clean nor the stairwells around the apartment. Dust coming off the walls, bugs on the floor just to name a few.

The only complaint that I had was the shower was over a Spa Bath and my husband could not have a shower for two days we stayed there. As he could not get in the Spa Bath.I should have asked for a disable room or at least a normal shower. Also the lift stops in the middle of the building and you then have steps to climb to get to your floor. Again not good for older people with bags to lift. Apart from that it was very good .

Quite comfortable. Dislike: Although there's a lift there are still a number of stairs to negotiate to come and go and with bad knees it made it a little bit of an issue.

A good spacious apartment overlooking the pool. Beds comfortable and clean. Having 2 sofas was a bonus. Dishwasher was old, had to get assistance in opening it, just needed a good yank to open it. Other than that no issues at all. Would stay again.

Unfortunately I used the clean blanket from cupboard in the main room, only to find out the blanket was dirty in the morning, it clearly had been put away dirty, and unfortunately I then questioned the cleanliness of everything. Very sad because otherwise we were very happy.
