The apartment was pleasantly decorated and the bed was reasonably comfortable, althoughit was pressed against the wall and if there had been 2 of us, it would have been awkward. The shower was ensuite and there was a kitchen next to the room with cooking facilities. The cleaner whom I met in the house in the morning was friendly and seemed efficient.

The place was very difficult to find, being tucked behind the shops and bearing no relation to the actual address. The instructions gave some indication that the entrance was via another road, but did not give enough detail. As a solo, elderly traveller, arriving after dark, it was a nightmare! I had to enlist the help of people in a fast-food outlet that stood where the apartment should have been situated, and a girl kindly took me round and showed me how to get into the gate. There were no tea or coffee making facilities, which I really missed, longing for a cup of tea after the stress of arrival! I had to venture out in the morning to buy something. It was a pretty dirty neighbourhood although the people I spoke to were kind. The towels were rough and a bit threadbare.
