Loved the place! So spacious! I would put an entry way rug in and get rid of the glass decor to the right in the hall. Maybe a nice pic on the wall would update and give it some personality. Loved the place though!

8.2/10 Very good! (200 reviews)
Dirty, filthy, unhealthy, bad communication Very bad experience, I booked from Expedia, the booking said I have to contact Edge apartments to confirm, called a couple of times and no answer and you can not leave a message, When we arrived , there is no one in the reception but this is nothing to what we found inside the apartment. Dirt, dust, mould, spider webs on the windows, stained pillows and to top it all moving bugs on the beds, we couldn't even stay for few minutes, when we tried to contact the manager, again no answer and can not leave a message, I then sent a text message to which he replies that he and another staff had cleaned the apartment earlier in the morning, if that was cleaned, I can't imagine how dirty was it. I don't understand how this place has a 4 star , do yourself a favour and don't book there, finally, they didn't refund us any money. I discovered I was not the first review on how bad these apartments are and certainly will not be the last.
