The apartment is overall rundown. It was not cleaned to a decent standard - there were stains in various places on the kitchen floor, and the floors overall were dusty and slightly dirty. The cushions on most of the outdoor chairs were dirty and stained. The toaster oven was dirty. The walls desperately needed a proper cleaning and painting. But I must note that the pool was big and clean and lovely. There are serious plumbing problems in the apt, which resulted in a toilet (which we barely used) becoming clogged and then flooding the bathroom, leakage from the bathroom sink, as well as significant leakage from a kitchen sink. There was also a very bad smell in the kitchen and living room, which presumably was related to these leaks. The owner ignored my messages for six hours, when I contacted them about these problems, and then finally after 18 hours sent a fix it person, who was unsuccessful in fixing the problems. I suspect the owner may have decent intentions, but since he lives abroad, he seems to be unable to find people who will properly maintain his apartment. I will add that there were additional problems with the rental, e.g., the security bars for the door to the garden – could not lock - they seemed to be broken, and in any case, we were not given any keys to lock them. The dryer did not work. And there is also certainly no hot tub, as listed.
