Ava Apartments by Heimaleiga

Property has been decorated and furnished purely for renting out. Not much in the way of care has actually been put into it. Seems as though they don't actually want you to use the kitchen properly as not much in the way of utensils provided. Kitchen hasn't been designed properly and the tap hits the wall. Dishwasher does not drain properly. First aid box provided inside the cupboard is actually empty and contains nothing. Seems as though they provide the amount of knives and forks as per the people who booked to stay (3 people stay 3 knives, 3 forks, 3 spoons) doesn't give you ability to actually cook properly. Bathroom is not actually designed for usage. The whole bathroom gets soaked because of the way the shower is located. The sink for the bathroom is not an adequate size and has been squeezed in. Bedroom facing rainbow street can be noisy and a bit odd that the window blind is a blind not a curtain and the actual blind does not close properly due to the window latch sticks out and means the blind cannot close properly. It's been done purely for rental and cheap, not actual practical use. Looks to have been recently decorated but a bit slap dash and paint left all over the floor. Reason for 3 stars is location and the heating. Apart from that, it would be less. Quite expensive but the location plays into this fact.

Great central location, good value for money. We enjoyed our stay in the AVA penthouse - great central location with a beautiful view, nicely decorated apartment with a small kitchen and very comfy bed (arguably the best I found in a hotel / rent apartment)!!! I also loved the heating system, lots of radiators so didn't feel cold at all. Modern access into the building, just by access code, no need for keys etc. The hosts were responsive and polite. You are within walking distance of all the city center hotspots and can see the lovely rainbow street and the cathedral which is a really nice touch. Thank you for the experience. Things that could be improved: cleanliness, soundproofing, toiletries.
