If you are keen on high tech then this is the place for you. The apartment was quiet and in a very safe neighbourhood. First impressions were excellent, however at the end of the day I would have swopped several of the high tech appliances and features for a few more basic additions; eg more than 3 mugs (what’s the point of a dishwasher when you’ve run out of mugs before 9am in the morning?), some simple hooks in the bathroom, and some bedside lights. But having said that, the owners have obviously spent a lot of money trying to provide every other modern convenience.

Since we had been travelling for 3 weeks, a washing machine would have been useful (but it never said it had one, so our omission). The bed mattress was very comfortable, but the bed frame was far too big and high up - I kept hitting my shins when walking round the bed and getting up onto the bed is probably fine when you’re 30 but not so easy when you’re 70! Also the open shelves built into the bed head made sitting up in bed very uncomfortable. We had some issues with the gas (CO?) alarm sensor going off (and not being able to silence it) and also the door code alarm went off when we left (not sure why).

The lighted mirror and the bidet were the best part of the stay.

It was dirty when we got there. No ironing board or iron. No washer/dryer. Only 3 towels for 10 days.
