    “It’s a lovely apartment but what lets it down is the stench from the shower room on the ground floor, which was t noticed until we opened the door late evening.”

    Yes we could have phoned and we did about the blackout blinds in the bedroom on the ground floor as my husband is claustrophobic and wanted them open and rang the office and explained the situation as we didn’t know how to open them. The guy said he’d ring us back but didn’t, not great customer service. We were on holiday we didn’t want to be on a phone. Also, toilet roll holder broke in ground floor toilet. We had to buy loads of disinfectant for the stench in the shower and it’s quite clear that the problem has been going on for a while. Get it fixed, it’s disgusting. As below, work with the owners to get it sorted. Terrible hygiene issue. Wouldn’t stay there again.
