There are a lot of advantages in staying in your own apartment. It's nice to know you can come and go without being interrupted by room cleaning etc. you can self cater and you have a bit more space. This is a good apartment (we stayed in number 12). The size is enough for 2 people. It's good to have a separate area for sleeping from the living area (but note, there is no door between the two rooms). The apartment is nicely furnished with sufficient space for storing clothes, there is a hairdryer, iron, ironing board, safe, a small amount of toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion and a couple of small soaps). These were just enough for two weeks. We did have to buy extra toilet paper. A couple of quirks were that the fob on the door into the apartment only ever worked on the 3rd go. Also, as mentioned on the site and by others, there are a lot of stairs to the upper levels. After a day of sightseeing and walking around, the extra walk up the stairs can be a struggle, but certainly keeps you fit! The property said that there would be one room service after a week but this never happened. We washed the towels ourselves in the communal laundry. The laundry was a little bit unkempt, just dusty and lots of detergent on the floor and always full of piles of sheets and towels in various stages of washing and drying. There are two washing machines and one went out of order during our stay. The machines were in fairly regular use by staff and guests.
