We stayed in an apartment above the SPAR in the old town. The location is fantastic, but the apartment itself is okay ish. Its very noisy because there's no double glazing, it still has the original wooden windows. You can hear every single item going through the scanner at the SPAR below Beep beep beep.... Very irritating. Other noises also, but less annoying than the contant beeping.
The galley style kitchen is way too small for 6 or 7 people. Its way too narrow and if the dishwasher or fridge door is open no one can move. The floor is old, dirty tiles which are broken / cracked in places and some are loose. There are other loose tiles in the apartment also.
The description of the bathrooms are misleading. The bathroom is one space with 2 basins to the left and 2 showers with a toilet each to the right. The space between is very narrow so I would not describe it as having 2 bathrooms as it doesnt give you the same as what 2 seperate bathrooms would. Its more like in a hostal. No privacy either. The apartment has a lot of potential, but as it stands not value for money compared to other availability at the time. Also very poor handling of an issue we had with broken equipment. When we checked in the dishwasher was broken. The next morning a technician spent 3 hours trying to fix it, while busy blocking off the entire kitchen. He told us it needed it was broken beyond repair and to be replaced. This wasnt surprising as the dishwasher was old and clearly well used. The host refused the advice and sent a second technician the following day, who also spent hours trying to fix it, again blocking the whole kitchen, just to come to the same conclusion. Finally the dishwasher was replaced on the 4th day of our stay after washing dishes for 6 people for 8 meals. They should have just replaced the dishwasher immediately and tried to fix the old one on their own time not on our time which we paid for. Bravisimo used to be excelent but they seem to be getting too big or managing too many properties and quality suffers. Unfortunate.
