Call me old-fashioned and perhaps with huge expectations but I honestly felt the impersonality by which the booking in and checking out process was conducted, spoiled my view of the experience. Yes, the apartment had all the amenities, yes, it was located conveniently, yes, we loved our rambling around the vicinity but ... (and perhaps because the owner of the property has had some bad experience with renters), we felt under the thumb of fairly stringent rules. We are an aged couple who have traveled the world and have never been "locked out" at exactly 10 am. Nor have we had to sign a pre-rental contract. Nor have we had to find an alternative place for our garbage (because our key code expired). We were, in a word, frustrated!
