Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
L’appartement en lui même manque de confort, des lits beaucoup trop hauts, salle de bain qui laissent entrer le jour car pas de porte, salon inutile car pas de chaises, tables, canapé pour profiter de l’espace. Heureusement que les appartements Freddy Mercuri sont reliés au Tembo hôtel dont les infrastructures sont agréables
