Nov 7, 2023 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in #### Fantastic location but overal cleanliness was appalling The location is right on the beach and has fantastic views. The appartment was confortable. Our stay however wasn't pleasant at all: when we arrived, the bed linen in the cupboard were smelly, dirty and yellow. Same for the pillows. The cupboard was crowded with beach stuff and hadn't been cleaned at all. The bed overhead was dusty. When I checked under the bed (the overal cleanliness made me suspicious), I found dirty tissues, codoms and a ton of dust and fluff. The floor was dusty and sticky and kitchen cupboard were moldy and smelly. We contacted the property manager who sent the cleaning team straight away, but they were very denfensive saying it was the owner fault. That it doesn't matter how many time they clean the floor it was always sticky and if we wanted a cleaner place we should have spend more money and book somewhere else. We appreciate the owner effect to renovate the inside of the unit, we were just put off by the all arrival experience and the attitude of the leasing agent. We ##### Laurence D.
