Horrible Entrance to this Studio
The entrance to the building is surrounded by scaffolding and a screen to disguise it. When we arrived the exterior area at the entrance door was littered with debris and broken bottles, it was awful. We followed a long and unkempt corridor to eventually a very small lift to the 7th floor. By the time we reached the studio we felt so uncomfortable. The studio was ok, the sofa bed reasonably comfortable and it had a decent bathroom with a good shower. There was an area at the kitchen with the wall crumbling, we were told they were waiting for it to dry out before fixing it. The balcony was not good, no privacy and the neighbour is very close on the corner. The Air Condition Unit was on the wall outside the door, my partner bumped his head on it – not paying attention – but it is dangerously low, he is not that tall. We did not want to stay there so messaged our contact who could not help and said they had not had any complaints before. I had checked the reviews before we booked, there was a variety of differing opinions and one mentioned the building work at the entrance but that was from a few years ago, naively, I expected it to be finished by now. We stayed only 2 nights out of 14 nights booked. We found a local agency who found us another apartment, it was added expense but it was worth it not to have to walk up to that entrance.
