I am afraid I can not rate this place with more stars.

In my opinion the place rests on its old laurels and needs to invest more effort in the management given that I followed a friend s recommendation from some time ago.

We were asked to pay for our stay at the very beginning during check-in - something that is unusual in my experience and leaves a strange unwelcoming aftertaste as the first impression of the place.

We had issues with the water in our apartment - basically there was no ability to have cold water. The options were hot or boiling hot water (and here I am not talking about freezing cold water but one that is neutral). This was a problem for all of the syncs including the shower and was obviously not something that can be fixed on the fly.

Another issue is that properties were not cleaned on a daily basis but instead on every three days - a strange decision about hygiene given the pandemic and the suggestions about regular sanitising and disinfection that are suggested by the medical authorities.

We faced difficulties with the stairs in regards to our baby stroller, especially when going on a dinner in the restaurants.

The apartment was cozy and having the essentials apart from the aforementioned and had a good garden view.

Speaking of the garden - it is well maintained and there is a great variety of plant species and there are multiple outdoor activities.
