The Apartments Aren't Always Serviced Daily
Cleaning services in the apartments are not provided daily. Many guests said that can be a particular problem on Saturdays and Sundays. Several specifically mentioned that they wished someone would have come by to empty the rubbish bins in the bathroom because they are small and fill up quickly.

The Bathrooms Need Updating
A lot of guests said that they didn't like certain things about the bathrooms and felt that they needed an update. Common complaints included no fans in the bathrooms, having to step up or down to enter the bathroom, and showers that occasionally flood the bathroom floors. A few people also mentioned loose bathroom tiles.

Noises from Neighbouring Rooms Can be Loud
Be prepared for some noise when you stay in these apartments. The floor boards are creaky, which could disturb you when those on the floor above are walking around.
