Whilst on holiday you do not like to have to wash the dishes by hand and having to put the dishwasher on after every meal must be expensive. The flat is noisy, from neighbours below above and to the side. Some of the speech and barking of the dog could be heard very clearly from below (as if in the same room at times in some locations).

Couple of minor things prevented 5 stars - mainly the bed was a bit low down for our old bodies and not that comfy but I guess you cant please everyone with choice of mattress. The only other thing was the lock on the gates - it was a bike lock which was a bit of a pain having to remember the combination and fiddle about with when wanting to get in. Other than that would recommend as a great place to stay.
