"The apartment was well appointed and the building was in a great location. We had an apartment at the front where we should have enjoyed an amazing view.
BUT- we couldn’t enjoy it because everyone who walked past very close to our window - and there were many- peered straight in at us. Many would even stop and look in at us. It appears there may once have been a 2nd set of curtains, maybe sheer, but only the dark heavy curtains remained. We kept these closed whenever we were home, having to turn the lights on inside as it was then dark and hence no view!
The site promised a private sitting area - well our inside sitting area was certainly not private and our outside sitting area was tiny, was dirty and had one small table and a chair at the bottom of a staircase leading to the apartment above.
Upon checking in, the front desk was unattended, then 2 young girls appeared and said their mum would be there soon. I waited 10 minutes, then asked the girls if their mum knew there was someone waiting, they responded that she did. After at least 15 minutes the mother appeared, no apology for keeping us waiting.
When we raised the issue of the lack of privacy she told us there were no other rooms and that the window was tinted. Maybe - but completely ineffective as my husband and I both discovered!
The photos show the great view but the total lack of privacy as a person looks in."
