Gzowo Vacations from $860

The apartment has been furnished with the cheapest of everything. It has the bare minimum you need. We were left 1 dishwasher tablet and 1 small sponge for a 3 night stay. No dish cloth. The bedroom door would not close as the bed was too big for the room. The bed was cheap and creaky. Furnishings and fittings were stained and shabby. Very disappointed.

The same top quality service and atmospherics you would find in any Sheraton around the world.

The property was lovely in terms of the space and amenities. The problems showed up in the details. It took a half dozen attempts to open the lock-box with the key (and I say this as someone who has used these types of accommodations countless times, so I'm not ignorant). The curtains were too narrow to block out the sun (important when sunrise is at 4:30AM). The shower would not switch to the handheld mode. The washing machine did not have a functioning spin cycle. The ice tray was broken in half (6 ice cubes is all we got at one time -- are they really that cheap?) It was an ok place to stay, but I can't say I'd recommend it.
