The property paid no attention to my special requests on the Expedia page. I was given an apt on the 9th floor. The front desk staffer put me through Mohammed, the owner, during check-in. He directed me to speak to Anna, the head of housekeeping, the next day. My apt. had a view to the east where undesirable people parked their cars with their back lights on. My apt. was just a couple of doors down from Anna’s “office.” My door faced the hall’s door, which was slammed mercilessly throughout the day. Anna invited herself in when she came to see me. She told me their residents were wonderful people. She advised me to leave my door ajar when cooking. I wasn’t surprised when later, someone tried to break into the apt. Subsequently, Anna became a nuisance. There were also tapping, thumping, thudding and punches on the bedroom wall at all hours. No bathroom safety mat was provided for the slippery shower floor. The bathroom’s sink was leaky. In the kitchen, the oven was dirty with grease, the faucet’s top was loose falling off each use. The dishwasher would come all the way to the front and then to the floor while I loaded it, hurting me. The frying pan had its non-sticking interior all scratched off; there was a crust of grease on the bottom. Both the living room and the bedroom lamps triggered the alarm for spying devices in them. While checking out, the elevator reeked of cigarette smoke. I do deserve a partial refund for this nightmarish stay.
