Die Lage ist top, das Gebäude ist gut und das Personal freundlich. Das Apartment ist groß, gut ausgestattet und sauber. Das Problem ist wirklich die fehlende Wartung. Man muss unbedingt warten. Viele Sachen sind kaputt, beschädigt oder alt. Nichts, was der Aufenthalt gestört hat, aber lässt einen schlechteren Eindruck. Punktuell war das Problem mit dem Pool. Man hätte bei dem Angebot erwähnen sollen, dass das Pool gesperrt ist. Dies wurde erst nach der Bezahlung erwähnt. Sonst war alles gut.
