"The flat is in a very convenient location for access to several local landmarks. The checking process, accuracy of information like wifi, and overall maintenance of the flat were dreadful. The instructions book in the flat did not match the information provided by the management team. The TV, cable, and internet only worked sporadically. Despite the location, there was not much going for this property."
