"The location of the property excellent, how ever the air quality in the room corridor and elevator poor. The air smelt like stale, moldy and an awfull smell. We had to use Glen 20 which we purchased. The vents were all dust filled and not maintained correctly. The balcony had moss growing in every corner."
