      Thank you Frenchie. Yeah this was a lovely apartment complex, pretty much brand new when we went. That was only 2 years ago so it'll still be pristine. Lovely family that own the place too, highly recommend it.

      @@continentalcoxons Really?! That's insane. It looked much better than that - but then again, maybe the star rating in this case was just because they lacked certain services.

    • @continentalcoxons
      @continentalcoxons  2 роки тому +1

      Yeah that's what I think. The reason I came to the 2 star conclusion is because we only got charged 5 euro hotel tax at the end,which works out at 50 cents a day over 10 nights.
      That's the going rate for that star rating. Becomes more expensive once you hit 3 and 4 star.
