Adequate stay overall

convenient location spacious apartment faulty washing machine malfunctioning dishwasher
The location is convenient. It is close to transport and the apartment was spacious. The view of the city skyline was nice, I must say.
The washing machine did not work properly sometimes. It even ruined two of my shirts. The dishwasher also did not clean dishes well. That was unfortunate.
