Contacted RV en route to apartment and they permitted an early check in - thanks. However on arrival at the apartment the check in procedures provided were incorrect. I notice from other reviews from this apartment and others on their site that this is far from an isolated incident. How difficult can it be to provide accurate check in instructions for the properties you manage? Our issue was resolved by a phone call to their office but I wonder what would have happened had we arrived outwith office hours. The apartment was cleanish but suspect it had only been given a quick once over rather than a thorough clean.
Only being given one set of keys provides logistic issues particularly for a stay of four weeks.
The apartment is in a great location, central to everything Lagos has to offer and is large for a one bedroom. The bathroom is very tired and needs upgrading. Portable heaters were provided but these were not required during our stay (Oct/Nov). Two portable fans were provided and we used these daily. There is no aircon which would rule this apartment out for us during summer months.
The sofa was comfortable and I found the bed to be too but my wife struggled with the mattress.
The balcony received sun from breakfast to about 13:00. The table and chairs were comfortable but the cushions require refreshing. Glass balustrade filthy.
The condominium itself was well maintained by gardeners and cleaners however the pool area was a disappointment. Loungers were uncomfortable, some were broken and needed replaced and all were absolutely filthy. Decking area was partially blocked due to rotting boards. Traffic noise from adjacent busy road was intrusive.
The apartment had everything we needed for our stay and was accurately described on the site. We would use Rental Valley again but despite having a good stay in the apartment and complex, we would try another apartment.
