I do like the Awa, however I wouldn’t choose the three bedroom apartment again. With zero air conditioning it made it far too warm in the heat of summer. The layout of only one toilet and it being downstairs while all the bedrooms are upstairs was inconvenient and the lack of extraction fan in the bathroom meant having to open the window while showering- which still didn’t do much to help the steam, but it gave the neighbours outside plenty of chances to see us in the shower or toilet as there are steps directly next to the unit so passer-by’s going up or down get an eye full. The sky tv also switched off at 8pm (when the reception closes) so there was nothing to watch for the rest of our stay.
