Slightly larger than North Dakota, Syria lies at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea. It is bordered by Lebanon and Israel on the west, Turkey on the north, Iraq on the east, and Jordan on the south. Coastal Syria is a narrow plain, in back of which is a range of coastal mountains, and still farther inland a steppe area. In the east is the Syrian Desert and in the south is the Jebel Druze Range. The highest point in Syria is Mount Hermon (9,232 ft; 2,814 m) on the Lebanese border.
Republic under a military regime since March 1963.
Ancient Syria was conquered by Egypt about 1500 B.C. , and after that by Hebrews, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Persians, and Alexander the Great of Macedonia. From 64 B.C. until the Arab conquest in A.D. 636, it was part of the Roman Empire except during brief periods. The Arabs made it a trade center for their extensive empire, but it suffered severely from the Mongol invasion in 1260 and fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1516. Syria remained a Turkish province until World War I.
A secret Anglo-French pact of 1916 put Syria in the French zone of influence. The League of Nations gave France a mandate over Syria after World War I, but the French were forced to put down several nationalist uprisings. In 1930, France recognized Syria as an independent republic but still subject to the mandate. After nationalist demonstrations in 1939, the French high commissioner suspended the Syrian constitution. In 1941, British and Free French forces invaded Syria to eliminate Vichy control. During the rest of World War II, Syria was an Allied base. Again in 1945, nationalist demonstrations broke into actual fighting, and British troops had to restore order. Syrian forces met a series of reverses while participating in the Arab invasion of Palestine in 1948. In 1958, Egypt and Syria formed the United Arab Republic, with Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt as president. However, Syria became independent again on Sept. 29, 1961, following a revolution.
In the Arab-Israeli War of 1967, Israel quickly vanquished the Syrian army. Before acceding to the UN cease-fire, the Israeli forces took control of the fortified Golan Heights. Syria joined Egypt in attacking Israel in Oct. 1973 in the fourth Arab-Israeli War, but was pushed back from initial successes on the Golan Heights and ended up losing more land. However, in the settlement worked out by U.S. secretary of state Henry A. Kissinger in 1974, the Syrians recovered all the territory lost in 1973.
In the mid-1970s Syria sent some 20,000 troops to support Muslim Lebanese in their armed conflict with Christian militants supported by Israel during the civil war in Lebanon. Syrian troops frequently clashed with Israeli troops during Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon and remained thereafter as occupiers of large portions of Lebanon.

Skip to comments.Pete Rose erased from baseball cards - Has Topps gone too far?
Posted on 02/13/2013 6:42:56 PM PST by SMGFan
Baseball card collectors and fans of the game are left scratching their heads after Topps made the decision to scrub mentions of Pete Rose and his Major League Baseball records from their products.
Yet, when it comes to players chasing Rose' records, his name is omitted. For example, Chicago White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski's card mentions his standing in regard to the "all-time record of 4,256" hits, but no mention as to who holds that mysterious record.
(Excerpt) Read more at blog.zap2it.com ...
Baseball has taken a harsh stance on players betting and for good reason.
Still Rose never bet against his own team and he always gave it all he had. Yes kick him out of the game but leave his records, he earned them fair and square.
Pete did not use drugs. It was all heart.
I agree—its going too far.
If only Pete had been a Democrat politician he would not have had any problems. I think he has been punished far beyond his crimes.
After Rose is dead, the rehabilitation will start.
Seeing Pete selling his wares at a sports store on the Vega$ strip is sad enough. But this is just too much. Charlie Hustle played the game the way it was supposed to be played.
Gambling on baseball by a player or manager is infinitely worse than players using performance-enhancing drugs, from a baseball perspective.
And like many baseball players going back to the 60s, Rose took amphetamines as a performance-enhancer.
Fans should decide, not Topps.
Rose's records are legitimate and shouldn't be ignored. There is a case to be made for his exclusion from the Hall, but even the Hall of Fame lists his records and achievements, he just isn't enshrined.
...and as time has passed, IMHO, the veteran's committee should consider him in light of the steroid era.
Not so, if they do not bet on games they play in or influence. His records were one on the field of play and he did not use performance enhancing drugs to break a record like Bonds did or others.
Pete who?
Look. We all know that Pete Rose is an asshole. But we all also know that he belongs in the HOF. Cut the sanctimonious bullshit and put him there.
This is all going to make Pete rose's cards worth more than all the rest combined.
These idiots must have been educated at the same University (Wisconsin Superior) that feels it's unfair to be white.
Anyone with a Pete Rose card, your wealth has been increased by these idiots.
This is all about race.
Okay. I've decided that I don't my grandchildren admiring a guy who insulted the game. He's dead to me. And I hope my family.
His misdeeds came after his playing days were through.
Good God! All the man did was gamble, it's not like he murdered anybody.
TOPPS, MLB, need to get a life.
Love him or hate him, Rose earned his on-field credentials honestly, as far as I've ever heard, and simply being made to disappear from the record books (and the Topps cards) is just ridiculous, IMHO! Hall of Fame is a different story, of course...rules is rules, I reckon.
Well I hope for his sake he gets in to the HOF. Everytime I am in Vegas he is doing autograph sessions at either Caesars or like 20 minutes ago when I waved at him at Mandalay Bay. He was by himself and did not look happy at all.
You would think he punched Rihanna or something.
Sad state of affairs when you can't bet on your own team to win !
And we have his word on that....
Rose spoke Wednesday with Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann on ESPN Radio to discuss the new Pete Rose exhibit that will be on display at the Great American Ballpark as part of the Reds Hall of Fame. The exhibit will be on display for 11 months.
"I bet on my team every night. I didn't bet on my team four nights a week. I was wrong," Rose said.
Rose said that he believed in his team so much that he bet on them to win every night.
"I bet on my team to win every night because I love my team, I believe in my team," Rose said. "I did everything in my power every night to win that game."
Exactly. Something stupid that he did as a coach should not erase his records as a player. The fact that the hall of fame will never touch him and his caricature of a public image is punishment enough.
Whew! I'm glad that's settled....
And his cards will be worth big money. He will be folk lore.
That said, his records are legit and should be recognized. I don't have an issue with him being in the HOF posthumously. While he's alive, however, he should be banned from official MLB activities IMHO.
Seems reasonable.
I've got to respectfully disagree there. Pete Rose is sort of like the Benedict Arnold of baseball. Like Arnold, Rose did many good things, but then he went over to the dark side.
Arnold won great victories early in the Revolutionary war. But Arnold should not be on an American coin. Rose should not be in the Hall of Fame.
For crying out loud, he bet on baseball, he didn't bugger the commissioner's pet goat.
Leave him alone, he's paid enough.
Totally agree!
Pete was such a hero to me growing up. But the guy simply can't stop lying.
Don't forget he AGREED to the lifetime ban. He signed the papers with Giamatti.
First it was I never bet on baseball, then it was I bet on the Reds to win most of the time (except when he knew a starting pitcher wasn't up to snuff), then it was I bet on the Reds to win every game (foolish strategy BTW).
I'm at the point where I truly don't believe anything he says.
I really would not be that surprised if he bet against the Reds on occasion, just to cover his substantial losses.
Anyone who knows a patholgical gambling addict knows that there is virtually nothing they won't do.
Oh, I know he's sorry. But I think it's because got caught.

We espouse morality, respect for the law, contracts, loyalty, not consorting with organized crime, not using and/or pushing illegal drugs, not fixing sports events, not gambling against your employer, management, players and other people that you supervise, not threatened those people, etc.
MLB's investigation linked Rose and his drug-dealing, bookmaking, baseball gambling, race-fixing, steroids using/dealing, amphetamine using/dealing, income-tax fraud friends, many whom lived in Rose's houses and hotel rooms.
MLB released some of the investigation but much more was not disclosed as per Rose's contract with MLB, which threatened to turn the investigation to the government. There were a lot of people, very scary people, who urged Rose to take the deal.
And all of these undisclosed facts you know how???
There were a lot of people, very scary people, who urged Rose to take the deal.
And also this fact, you know how???
Note: They said, was rumored, unnamed sources are not adequate answers, btw.
Free Republic is a Conservative website.
Why thanks Captain Obvious!
I've been stumbling around here for 14 years and didn't realize that.
Fans should decide by never supporting anything "Tops"
I don't know if you know who runs the bookmaking business, but let me assure you, it ain't the Boy Scouts.
Rose associated with all KINDS of low-lifes during this time. He even met them in the clubhouse at Riverfront.
Read the book "Hustle".
Pete was very very stupid.
Just makes his cards all the more valuable.......
We? You got a mouse in your pocket? That may have been the crede when I first joined but this site has changed since then.........
They also had betting slips with his fingerprints on them.
It wasn't even arguable. Giamatti had him dead to rights.
Rose signed the ban. Apparently he must have assumed that Giamatti would keep his mouth shut, but said "Pete Rose bet on baseball".
That's when Pete started to lie.
And acted hurt and betrayed that Giamatti said this publicly.
And as has been said above, Rose was a true hero on the field, and those records will stand. But for those who say, "Well, he gambled as a manager. Doesn't negate his on-field acheivements." Don't forget that Rose was a PLAYER-manager at the end of his career.
Pete was known as a heavy gambler long before that. In his biographies from the 70s he even talks at length about how being a pro athlete requires a certain level of adrenaline and he got that "high" off the field by betting on horses, or football, or what have you. In one particular biography he even brags how "good" he was at playing the ponies. He's extremely knowledgeable at handicapping.
I find it very difficult to believe that he wasn't betting on baseball while still a player (or player-manager), but all of a sudden just "happened" to start when he became a manager full-time.
Sorry to be Debby Downer, but the man is essentially dead to me. Not the hero I loved so much as a kid.
Fans don't print the cards, Topps does. That's their decision to make. If fans don't like it they shouldn't buy the cards, that's their decision point.
Essentially that is what I'm saying.
The records of those hitting it out of the park while *Juicing it* should not.
As far as I know Maris or Mantle never juiced it, well Mantle maybe booze, but that is not a performance enhancer :)
Completely agree!
For those who defend the "juicers" of the 90's, I always wonder just what Mantle or for that matter Babe Ruth COULD have done, had they not drank and partied so much.
I'd lay money down that Mantle would have broken the Babe's HR record had he stayed "clean".
For baseball historians, they always comment that Mantle was ungodly with his power. And looking at the distances he hit, he came pretty close to the Bambino.
Alas, alcoholism and a bum knee, and we'll never know.
Then again, the Babe hit in parks that had 500 ft. fences, so maybe he would have approached 1000 HRs in the modern era.
I've read that Mantle tripped over a drainage pipe in the outfield that didn't have the cap on.
Twisted his knee fierce.
Was never the same after that.

The Philippine islands are an archipelago of over 7,000 islands lying about 500 mi (805 km) off the southeast coast of Asia. The overall land area is comparable to that of Arizona. Only about 7% of the islands are larger than one square mile, and only one-third have names. The largest are Luzon in the north (40,420 sq mi; 104,687 sq km), Mindanao in the south (36,537 sq mi; 94,631 sq km), and Visayas (23,582 sq mi; 61,077 sq km). The islands are of volcanic origin, with the larger ones crossed by mountain ranges. The highest peak is Mount Apo (9,690 ft; 2,954 m) on Mindanao.
The Philippines' aboriginal inhabitants arrived from the Asian mainland around 25,000 BC They were followed by waves of Indonesian and Malayan settlers from 3000 BC onward. By the 14th century AD , extensive trade was being conducted with India, Indonesia, China, and Japan.
Ferdinand Magellan, the Portuguese navigator in the service of Spain, explored the Philippines in 1521. Twenty-one years later, a Spanish exploration party named the group of islands in honor of Prince Philip, who was later to become Philip II of Spain. Spain retained possession of the islands for the next 350 years.
The Philippines were ceded to the U.S. in 1899 by the Treaty of Paris after the Spanish-American War. Meanwhile, the Filipinos, led by Emilio Aguinaldo, had declared their independence. They initiated guerrilla warfare against U.S. troops that persisted until Aguinaldo's capture in 1901. By 1902, peace was established except among the Islamic Moros on the southern island of Mindanao.
The first U.S. civilian governor-general was William Howard Taft (1901–1904). The Jones Law (1916) established a Philippine legislature composed of an elective Senate and House of Representatives. The Tydings-McDuffie Act (1934) provided for a transitional period until 1946, at which time the Philippines would become completely independent. Under a constitution approved by the people of the Philippines in 1935, the Commonwealth of the Philippines came into being with Manuel Quezon y Molina as president.
On Dec. 8, 1941, the islands were invaded by Japanese troops. Following the fall of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's forces at Bataan and Corregidor, Quezon instituted a government-in-exile that he headed until his death in 1944. He was succeeded by Vice President Sergio Osmeña. U.S. forces under MacArthur reinvaded the Philippines in Oct. 1944 and, after the liberation of Manila in Feb. 1945, Osmeña reestablished the government.

France 1870 – 1943
Panel for a girl's bedroom: October evening
[Panneau pour une chambre de jeune fille: soir d'octobre] 1891
oil on canvas
canvas 37.5 (h) x 58.7 (w) cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris , Purchase with partonage organised by the Nikkei Group 2005
© RMN (Musée d'Orsay) / Hervé Lewandowski
For the Nabis there was no particular hierarchy in the arts. In the words of Denis' friend, Bonnard, 'Our generation always sought to link art with life'; what was 'envisaged' was 'a popular art that was of everyday application: prints, fans, furniture, screens'.1 In this, Denis and other members of the brotherhood were influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement in Britain, and the Applied Arts Movement in Belgium.
In 1891 Denis set out to create a suite of four paintings devoted to the seasons, which included those for September and October, seen here.2 It is likely that the series was Denis' response to Bonnard's Women in a garden 1890–91,3 exhibited in 1891.
Denis exhibited his horizontally formatted set of Poetic subjects: four panels for the decoration of the bedroom of a young girl at the eighth Salon de la Société des Artistes Indépendants in Paris in March–April 1892. A month previously he had shown September evening and October evening in Brussels, perhaps indicating that these works could be considered as individual paintings as much as a narrative series, though it has been suggested that together the series explores 'the four stages of a woman's life'.4
In Panel for a girl's bedroom: September evening Denis has painted the last glow of late summer, with the leaves still on the branches of the silhouetted trees. It is almost twilight and shadows sweep across a group of women on a terrace. Beyond, the sun sets, while the medieval knights on horseback complete the scene. Denis has depicted the trees, fabrics, garlands and fruit in an ornamental manner. The later companion panel, Panel for a girl's bedroom: October evening, shows autumn. Leaves in browns, reds and golds provide a border for women in a garden. The results are paintings which are 'decorative, calm and simple' and 'very beautiful'; terms which Denis applied to the work of Puvis, whose work he much admired.5
The idea of painting décoration was promoted by Denis as a way forward in the development of composition, as well as a means of catering to the taste of the growing clientele of the Nabis. Such visions of peace and tranquillity served as foils against the chaotic aspects of modern life in Paris, as well as a way of creating a haven in the familial home.

It�s safe to say that those of us turned off by the repetitive sheen of most top 40 pop have welcomed the acoustic revolution spearheaded by the likes of Mumford & Sons and The Lumineers. On the other hand, anyone reared on rock �n� roll can�t help but find himself longing, at least a little bit, for a world beyond the banjos and mandolins. Doesn�t anybody own an amp anymore?With that as the backdrop, Kingsley Flood�s new LP, �Battles,� arrives with a wild, welcome kick. The Boston group�s 2010 LP �Dust Windows� had more of a traditional Americana feel, but last year�s EP �Colder Still� started to incorporate indie rock elements into their rustic sound.With �Battles,� they�ve made the full leap into guitar-based rock while holding on to their down-home authenticity. That�s a trick for any band, particularly a young one, and it�s hard to overstate exactly how well Kingsley Flood does it here.A good portion of the credit has to go to George Hall�s stellar guitar work, which is accomplished without being showy � it jangles through tracks like the Mersey-tinged �Sun�s Gonna Let Me Shine,� while on the driving �Down,� his psychedelic bursts complement Chris Barrett�s trumpet blasts to pull the song squarely into the stratosphere. As for the sort-of title track �Pick Your Battles,� Hall�s hopped-up blues riffs combine with Naseem Khuri�s roiling garage-rock keyboards to searing effect.But none of this would be half as effective if the songs weren�t actually about something. Kingsley Flood�s secret weapon is Khuri�s pitch-perfect lyrics, which pack an incredible breadth of imagery and emotion into their spare stanzas, delivered in a quirky, urgent rasp that anchors them solidly in the here and now. The songs on �Battles� speak to a modern American dream that�s constantly in danger of being pulled under by forces beyond our control, from inside and out.In fact, Khuri�s lyrics actually owe a lot to Springsteen, with their references to inner struggles and sullen fathers, not to mention dirty hands and bills unpaid. In that vein, �Waiting On The River To Rise� is a perfectly realized painting of a man struggling to keep afloat despite God�s apparent indifference: �Scratch tickets on my shelf, stains on my knees, pennies in my well,� he sings. �I got faith in faith, because the other choice is no choice at all.�
On other tracks, he grapples with the lure of voices that tell him to �get low� � �I�ll hold up high my chin and welcome sin on in,� he sings on �Sun�s Gonna Let Me Shine,� and among the jaunty piano, strings and horns on �King�s Men,� he seems to accept the inevitability of a great fall: �Look in the broken mirror; it�s only a matter of time.�Broken mirrors, bent knees and chins raised in the face of inescapable adversity pop up frequently on �Battles,� with some of the most effective imagery coming during the disc�s quieter moments: On �Sigh A While,� Khuri sings of �our eyes on the horizon, but a lollipop stuck to the floor,� his quietly desperate vocals perfectly counter-pointed by Jenee Morgan�s sweetly realized harmonies.Such ambitious songwriting is always in danger of sliding into the obtuse, and it happens on occasion here. �The sleepwalker never falls down, the wax wing never hits the ground,� Khuri sings cryptically on �Habit,� one of the album�s few meandering tracks.But for the most part, �Battles� has just the right combination of uncompromising lyrical heft and explosive musicality, and stands to position Kingsley Flood as the ideal rock act for the new millennium: a little kinder than some, perhaps, but by no means gentler.

text: Sea World offers visitors a wonderful holiday experience with holiday themed shows, fabulous decorations and the Polar Express.It is hard to decide where to begin on your trip through the land of Shamu, Clyde and Seymore ...but you will not want to miss "O Wondrous Night". This is a show that tells, as Sea World puts it, "the greatest story never told".The show is very touching, yet light hearted. The Christmas Story "like it has never been told before"...through the eyes of the animals. Over 30 carols, live animals and angels...it will enhance your holiday spirit. All ages enjoy the living nativity that includes sheep, alpaca, zebu, goats, camels and white doves. When it is over it will be hard to get up out of your seat as you will want to continue the warm holiday feeling. It is 30 minutes in length.Just walking around Shamu's home gives you the holiday spirit. The Christmas spirit does not end with "O Wondrous Night" as Shamu's home is lit up with lights and filled with the spirit of the holidays.Something I found amazing...the sea of holiday trees. With more than 100 trees creating a sparkling forest. The trees are located in the lake, which adds to the holiday cheer as the lights bounce off the water. The trees dance, so to speak, as lights flash on and off in time with the holiday music classics. A great place to watch is the restaurant that sits on the lake. We grabbed a burger and sat down enjoying the tree show.There is so much more to be seen through the holidays at Shamu's home. Stand by for more info to plan your holiday trip to Sea World.

Like others attending college, Tyler worked summers to help off-set expenses by making pizzas in a family-owned Bartonville business called Terry's Pizza.

In 1986, Tyler bought the business and subsequently renamed it Tyroni's, a nickname his in-laws created by eliding Tyler and pepperoni.

Turner had never made any drawings [watercolours] like these before, and never made any like them again … He is not showing his hand in these, but his heart.1
An inveterate traveller, Turner visited Switzerland on his first continental tour in 1802, during the short-lived Treaty of Amiens. He was greatly inspired by the sublime qualities of the alpine landscape, although he did not return until 1836. However during his later years he visited continental Europe regularly, travelling through Switzerland annually from 1841 to 1844. The resulting watercolours are acknowledged as some of his most important works; a final flourish in his extraordinary output.
In the late summer of 1841 Turner spent time in Lucerne, exploring its surrounding mountains, valleys and lakes. One of the best-known local features is the Rigi, a mountain comparatively small in height (1798 metres) but with a dominant presence to the east of the town across Lake Lucerne. Unlike the numerous tourists who ascended the Rigi to witness sunset or sunrise from the summit, Turner was captivated by the mountain rather than its view, and was preoccupied with capturing the transitory effects of light and atmospheric conditions in numerous colourful wash sketches.
On his return to London Turner presented his dealer, Thomas Griffith, with a new format for marketing his art, providing him with fifteen small sketches from which his patrons could make selections to be worked up into finished watercolours, together with four such completed 'specimens' to demonstrate the result. The four included two contrasting views of the Rigi, one now known as The Blue Rigi,2in which the looming mass is shadowed by the radiant dawn light emanating from behind it, and this work, The Red Rigi, in which the mountain's heights glow ethereally pink with the last rays of the setting sun. In both, Turner explored the reflections and refractions in the foreground water and the activity on the lake's surface, probably viewed from his hotel window. The Red Rigi was purchased by his Scottish friend and patron H.A.J. Munro of Novar, who acquired half the resulting ten watercolours, commissioning another dawn view, known as The Dark Rigi.3Turner's great advocate John Ruskin first saw The Red Rigi displayed at Griffith's salesroom and recalled 'such a piece of colour as had never come my way before': within a few years his father had acquired it from Munro.4In 1851 Ruskin senior wrote to his son in Venice informing him of Turner's death, saying that The Red Rigi 'fed and soothed me like a Dead March all this evening …'.5
In 2007 the three finished Rigi watercolours were united for the first time, exhibited at Tate Britain, along with their sample sketches, additional studies and paintings based around Lucerne. Varying noticeably from their original sketches, the watercolours demonstrate the remarkable level of sophistication to which Turner had raised the medium. Skilfully combining stippling, hatching, scratching back to create highlights, washes and gouache, and with incomparable colouristic ability, Turner evokes a luminous grandeur to the Swiss vista that he studied with such contemplation.

We're very pleased to announce significant changes to the General Reading Room on the second floor at the Newberry.
Thanks to the compact shelving project which greatly increased the space in our stacks building, we had the option of moving some infrequently used resources back to the stacks. The availability of online federal censuses has lessened the need to have census microfilm available in the reading room, so we relocated 10 microfilm cabinets of census rolls to the stacks as well. (Note that all these materials are still readily available via call-slip when you need them).
The 2nd floor reference desk has now moved out from the microfilm area to a more prominent position in the room, allowing us greater visiblity and improved ability to interact with and assist reseachers.
The space that formerly contained microfilm cabinets and the reference desk, designated as the Smith Family Genealogy Reference Center, now includes new shelving for genealogy and local history reference works and improved consultation spaces. The cabinets holding Chicago newspapers, city directories, naturalization soundex and Family History Library microfilms remain in this new area.
To emphasize the Newberry's Chicago history resources we have brought out a good deal of Chicagoana from the stacks to create a robust Chicago Browsing section in the Reference Center, and a larger table now allows for easier viewing of the open-shelf Chicago maps.
Come and check out the changes! We hope you'll let us know what you think.

The apartment was clean, well equipped, in a great location with allocated parking. It was in need of some TLC.It could do with the walls redecorating and the patio area tidying up.
Great place with very nice hostess, great public transport from there you can get everywhere. Everything was nice and clean, great base to explore austria!
We were only 2 nights in Porto Cristo N(u)ovo with 2 parents and 4 children ( 12, 14, 14, 16). We had a good time there, for the apartment is quite clean, there are 3 bedrooms, all quite big enough, a large sitting space, 2 bathrooms and 2 balconys. A very well kept garden.So the apartment on itself, we would recommend to everybody.
We were with larger children, so they wanted to go to the sea. The sea is very close, but you can't get to there. You have to take the car and go to Porto Cristo or somewhere else. The neighbourhood is very quiet, which is not so exciting for children our age.
The WIFI didn't work at first, but the woman who is very very friendly and willing to help and inform you, managed to repare it. So for next geusts Wifi won't be a problem. When we came, the heater was on, so allthough it was not so warm outside, it was nice inside. We are sure, (elder??) people with a car will enjoy this appartment.
we were in this apartment it was really very nice comfortable very clean . The atmosphere was also good. unfortunatly we could not meet Host of this house because we did not have enough time . but everything was perfect . The price was excellent
thank you so much for tip.
The apartment is perfectly situated in the centre of Vienna. Only a very short walk from the State Opera and Konzertverein. The apartment is well equipped with ample space for 4 persons. Everything in the apartment works fine - also the internet connection. Only a little difficulty that the key should be gathered and delivered back to an office a little away from the apartment. The apartment was a very good experience, which can be recommended.
Exact the Venezia feeling! Super place to stay, everything is very clean, evrything you need is there! Love to come again!
The house was lovely and big, lots of space for socialising as we were a group of 5 adults. There was a nice big table and chairs outside, a swing chair which was quite nice and relaxing, there was also a BBQ which was ideal. The kitchen was more than adequately stocked with everything you could think of, we prepared lots of lovely meals during our stay.
The disappointing bits were: we hired this property because it had a swimming pool but unfortunately the pool was really dirty full of dead insects and leaves etc which obviously we didnt get to use in the end. The towels provided were quite inadequate as they were all frilly and pretty which you wouldnt really use them as bath towels, the rest of the towels were all stained, not dirty but stained with other colours that have run from the washing. the place was generally not very clean, with dust everywhere and dead insects on the floor in the corners.You could tell it hadn't been rented out for a little while and it hadnt been cleaned prior to our arrival.
Another thing was the location: on the map it shows the property as being quite close to the train station which was another reason why we chose this house because we were planning on using public transport. but when we got there we found that the property was just outside of Olhao town and it was a good 10-15 mins extra walking to get to the train station.
On the other hand it was quite close to supermarkets (10mins waLK).
This would have been a lovely place to stay if only it had been given a little bit of TLC.
Nice host. Top location located perfectly at a wonderful place.
Reasonable, centrally located apartment. Can be a little noisy because of the
congested streets outside! But that's part of city holidays. Decor is a little old fashioned, and no wi-fi. Otherwise okay...
The location on the Isola di San Pietro is convenient for a visit of Venice. It is a littel decentral though. Apartment was clean, bathroom was clean and modern. The beds are ok. The communication with the representative of the agency was easy. The service was good.
But I give only 2 stars because of intransparancy and hidden costs. We had to pay 60 Euros for cleaning. That's a lot for a place not bigger then 20 square meters. But it would have been acceptable if those costs would have been communicated from the beginning on. We were informed about the 20% increase of costs by the confirmation email shortly before the trip to Venice started. This practise should be altered immediately.
