Duplex 4 pers Port de Nice avec parking - One-Bedroom Apartment

😊: This is a real apartment and all the facilities advertised (parking, washing maschine, air conditioning) are actually present and functional. The person handing us the key was helpful and punctual. The typical things like floor, toilet and bed have been indeed cleaned.. 😢: The moment our refund window closed, property contacted us about wanting 300€ extra deposit via some online platform link, contrary to what is posted on Booking.com. We could only get them to stop this non-standard request by contacting Booking.com customer support people. This made a poor first impression. The apartment was in general not clean and not well maintained. Dirty cupboards, ventilation fans, window. Because apartment is so small, all these areas that seem to never get cleaned become obvious and disgusting. See photos. Towels smelled bad and were very thin. These need to be urgently changed to something of decent quality. Bedroom smelled overall of sweat, I assume mattress and bedding need replacement. Overall the apartment did not smell good or fresh. Quality of towels, bedding is very poor, worse than in a student dorm. The washing machine also needs a proper clean. We washed our clothes in it and they smelled bad afterwards. There is nothing the owner can do about the location, apartment building or exterior area, but at least the apartment can be kept clean, smelling fresh and maintained in a way that is inviting to guests. My sense is that only minimal effort is made to maintaing this place in order to extract maximum money from tourists. I booked this hoping it would be a good deal but it was the worst stay I had on Booking.com, by far..

😊: The property was spotless on entry, in terms of what we needed it for we could not complain. 😢: The only thing I could say would be the location, it wasn’t a particular issue for us as the purpose for our stay was to go Monaco and we also drove but it wasn’t in the centre so a walk would be required..
