Richmond

This place really surprised me! I was expecting way worse from the other reviews, but we liked it there. There's a living room area together with the kitchen, then the bathroom and the bedroom. We used the bedroom only for storage because it had two single beds (we knew that before arriving) so we as a couple found out that the sofa in the living room unfolds to a double bed and it was very comfortable as well so we slept there. There is a TV in the living room with lots of channels some of which are radio stations. In the kitchenette there was an induction stove for two pots, an electric kettle, some glasses, plates, pots, pan, toaster. We had an amazing view from the balcony (which is huge and has sunbeds, chairs, table and a hanger for laundry) because we were one floor down from the very top. I wrote a comment when I was booking this place that we would like the highest room possible and they said they will do their best - and they did! Oh, and the pool downstairs is also a great bonus, we swam there the night we arrived (and got some strange stares from a woman sitting on her balcony at the ground floor, haha).

We stayed here for 4 nights and the towels were changed just the day before we left, which was a pity, but didn't bother us that much. Of course, no free wifi (a HUGE minus), BUT we knew that before we booked this place! There are no cups for tea, only small ones for coffee/espresso. The pan should really be changed because it had holes in it (I mean that someone might have used a metal utensil while frying so therefore the top layer was damaged). And there's no salt or peppers, no bath products (only soap). I also found some razors in one of the bathroom's drawers, there were some new ones in the bag and one was used, so it's very odd why the cleaner left them there. Oh, and there were quite a few small ants in the cupboards and in the drawers of the kitchenette, but we didn't see them that often. BUT because of them, we kept all open and especially sweet things in the fridge, like cereal and chocolate. As for the stairs that some people mentioned, yeah, there's a lot of them, but we were OK with them, as for others it could be a problem as I imagine because there's no elevator.

We liked everything. No complains whatsoever!
