Well.... what i didn't expect was to try and find the location of the office to collect the key, the description was not clear! it's also up 400 steps and then attempt to knock on a padded leather door - not easy. Thankfully we has booked an English speaking driver to collect us from the airport, so he was able to help. Even though we arrived within the allocated time slot, the room wasn't ready, however, we were given the key to drop our bags off.
The actual apartment is about 1 km away from the office, again the driver was able to help with the finding of the place. Without him, we would of been lost, angry and very annoyed.
You enter the apartment from the back of the shops, next to all of the bins (rather unpleasant smell) and the least picturesque arrival. So our apartment was number 77, which was quite a lot of steps, there is a lift which looks like its about 100 years old and a H&S nightmare, but it works, you just have to kick the 100's of cigarette butts out of the way.
We knew the apartment hadn't been cleaned, but when we entered it looked like a crime scene, I've seen crack dens (on the TV) look more appalling and cleaner. HOWEVER, what put us off most was the full ashtray - this was meant to be a NO SMOKING apartment! or is just NO SMOKING for the period that we stay?
We turned around, locked the door and posted the keys in the apartments mailbox. I messaged the bloke from the office who hasn't responded!!!!
