Acceptable Stay with Issues

insufficient towels absence of cleaning service
The apartment's location provided convenient access to the promenade and beach.
I found that there were insufficient towels provided. A request for more was not met. The absence of washing-up liquid and dishwasher tablets added to the inconvenience. These should have been included, given that cleaning services were omitted.
