A satisfactory apartment in good location”The location is good, a walkable distance from the city centre. The view is good. The apartment is fairly clean with everything needed. However, the shower isn't good, the temperature of the shower is either too cold or too hot, it just can't be adjusted to an optimum. The worst thing is I was being asked what time will I arrive and I responded to it saying I will be there on 3pm as the checking in started from 3pm. It's acknowledged by the property owner the time I am arriving and being told she will be there on time on my arrival. I arrived 10 mins before 3pm on the day and called the property owner. She said she is on the way and ask me to wait for her. Finally, she showed up on 3:40pm. Disappointed about wasting 40 mins in waiting as just spent 2 days in Swansea.
