A Stylish Stay with a Few First Impressions

In the lead-up to our stay, the communication was thorough — perhaps a touch excessive at times — but we would always prefer attentive detail over silence.

Arrival, however, presented its challenges. Access was not immediately straightforward; when we called for assistance at the gate, we were simply told to "watch the video" — though no such video was apparent. Once through, we located the key safe, only to discover that one of the keys had broken and part of it remained stuck in the lock. For a moment, it seemed as though we might be locked out entirely. Multiple attempts to reach the hosts went unanswered, which on a Friday evening was disappointing and left us feeling somewhat stranded at the outset.

That said, once inside, the apartment itself revealed its strengths. Spotlessly clean, beautifully presented, and with beds that were exceptionally comfortable, it offered a sense of calm and space. The interiors were generous, light-filled, and ideal for relaxation. While the property is listed as accommodating six, the dining ware provided did not quite reflect this capacity — with limited bowls and cutlery, shared meals would require some improvisation.

In all, it is a spacious and stylish dwelling, well-suited for a group stay once the initial arrival details are smoothed out. With small refinements in guest readiness and attention to detail, it could reach the level of excellence its design and comfort clearly aspire to.
