Hey Vanessa, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review, we really appreciate the feedback! We're super pleased to learn you appreciated the design and cleanliness of the apartment and that the amenities served you well :) We are however sorry about the confusion around the online check-in, for security purposes we still need to confirm details in-person and I apologise that this isn't made clearer in the emails, I will forward on this feedback to our communications team. I also apologise that you felt our staff didn't handle the situation with as much positivity as you'd expect, that isn't our standard at all and again I can only apologise and feedback these comments to the team. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Best wishes, Amy & The Team.
