    “A lovely apartment, clean and comfortable.”

    Fairly well equipped. Only minor niggles. Broom had no handle. Minor irritants with lack of some kitchen utensils. Perhaps a generational thing but TV seemed enormously complicated. However, nothing spoiled our stay in this superbly situated apartment.
