“We booked this particular property as it stated that there was an allocated parking space behind the property, this is not the case, the owners do provide passes for on street parking anywhere within "H" zone - which is a large area and could mean that you can only find a space some distance away.”
This had a negative impact on our stay as it prevented us from using the car on some occasions for fear of not being able to park near the property.
