Design, Sauberkeit, Ort Der Self-check-in war kompliziert. Wir wussten nicht welche Wohnung und welches Schlüsselkästchen und ist. Wir mussten es ausprobieren, welcher Save den richtigen Zahlencode hat und anschliessend und mit dem Schlüssel durch die Wohnungen probieren.

Location is great. Close to all the restaurants, cafes, fast food chains, convenience stores like Tesco Express, HSBC bank and it is located right in front of a market selling fresh vegetables, fruits, meats and also lots of small eateries. The place is modern and spacious featuring a large dining table and living room. The kitchen is also very well equipped and Wifi is excellent. It will be easier for guest to locate the Entrance and key box if the Host can post pictures in the check in guideline. Shower area could be improved by installing a shower head in the en-suite bathroom and also providing some shower gel and shampoo. Perhaps check out time can be extended to a bit later instead of 10am.

We had a great few days staying in the Old Post Office, a great location to explore the city. Fabulous open plan space, with views over the market. The flat had everything you need to cook meals, although there are so many great restaurants nearby we ate out most of the time.

The central location is perfect, right next to all amenities. The apartment is large, spacious and fully equipped with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. Everything is brand new and modern. We couldn't figure out how to lower the central heating and it was quite hot inside. Maybe they could leave instructions. Also the ensuite bath does not have a hand shower, just a tap, so it makes the bath quite unusable since you can't rinse yourself off or wash your hair. We all had to use the adjacent shower room. Not a deal breaker, but inconvenient.
