Despite helpfullness at office, was disappointed on arrival to find my door was awry on its hinges and wouldn't shut. (It was fixed later which was good). AlsoThe bathroom basin plug was jammed closed so unable to let water out. I felt that the cleaners must have noticed these faults and should have reported them to the office. Other than that it was a clean and pleasant apartment and I would consider booking again.
