It was a well appointed apartment with lots of room and an airport shuttle. There was even a washing machine. It only lacked hot water and quiet as the mosque’s loudspeakers were very close.

Résidence agréable dans l’ensemble, mais sans serv
Dans l’ensemble, le séjour s’est bien passé, mais il faut savoir que ce n’est pas un hôtel classique, plutôt une résidence sans services. Pas de bar, de restaurant, ni salle de sport. Il y a bien une piscine commune, mais elle manque de charme et l’accès se fait en traversant un parking, ce qui n’est pas idéal.
L’accueil a été très sympathique et réactif : à chaque demande, le personnel répondait rapidement et avec le sourire. C’est un vrai point fort.
L’appartement était grand et spacieux, mais il manque clairement de finitions. Le ménage est fait, mais de manière assez superficielle : miroirs, robinetterie, et autres détails sont un peu négligés. Dommage, car avec un peu plus de soin, le confort serait bien meilleur.
