  : The apartment was excellent - clean, tidy, comfortable and well stocked with everything you need - kitchen had it all, lots of power points and I especially liked the large safe which you can easily store a laptop in. It was also a very quiet location - no outside noise at all - the apartment itself was first class. The parking right outside was also good and there is a supermarket within five minutes walk.
  : 1. There only seems to be a member of staff on site for a few hours each day and their english was good - but not great, some things needed a lot of explaining - and because the staff was rarely there and i was out working a lot I had to pay upfront for a few nights - which created an issue Ill explain later. 2. Nothing in the apartment is cleaned or replaced until after the first seven days - unless you pay extra for it (which wasn't mentioned prominently on their site and it was a few days in before i realised this). Not a huge deal but it means you're going to have to have smelly towels and to buy your own toilet paper after paying a large amount of money for the apartment! 3. My only major complaint was that I finished my business a day earlier than expected so I checked out early - but they refused to refund the money I'd already paid upfront for the night I wasn't there. I'm sure they have that right in the small print somewhere but to me, keeping money for a night when i wasn't even in the country is unethical - and the complex wasn't at all busy, so the argument that i was doing someone out of a room doesn't really float. Moral of this seems to be that once they have your money, you won't get it back - so don't pay until you are actually leaving - though you may find that to be a problem as the staff member is only there occasionally. 4. Not a problem with the actual property - but if you're walking into town, it's a long way, probably about 40 minutes minimum to reach shops and further if you're going into the town centre. Also, if you walk back home at night you have to either walk from town through a large and fairly dark park (though to be fair it is a lovely park and it did feel relatively safe) or by a long roadway, which doesn't actually look that safe (much graffiti, car parks with boy racers in etc). If you're driving everywhere though, absolutely no problem.
