Worst stay ever!

Nothing

Thoughtful, but some pretty major issues

Very responsive. I made a 10:15pm booking due to my previously reserved accommodation losing my booking and the property had sent my check-in details within the two minutes it took between making the reservation and calling them.  Spacious, comfortable and quiet - no noise from the other tenants (though it was next to a noisy road and the blinds let the streetlight in).  A good desk for working.  Working radiator, though no air flow as it's blocked by the bed.  It was well equipped, with some thoughtful additions similar accommodation often lacks. Hair dryer, iron, ironing board, safe. Space to hang coats. Shelf in the en-suite, two sets of towels, plenty of toilet roll and some small toiletries. Smart TV to use your own log-ins. Washer/dryer, laundry tabs and clothes horse.  Kettle, toaster, hob, oven (no microwave), fridge, tea towel, kitchen roll, spare bin bags, well equipped kitchen. Tea, coffee, sugar sachets (no milk but there are shops 5-10 min walk away) and salt and pepper. 

− They asked for additional payment in the form of a security deposit/damage waiver that was not declared on the listing, (and specifically listed as not acceptable on the invoice) but did not press this point.  The door latch was practically falling off and had to be tightened with a butter knife because the door wouldn't lock upon exit. Make doubly sure to check the door before you leave. It did make me a bit anxious about leaving my belongings during the day.  There was quite a bit of black mould and condensation on the walls and floor by the window - that's worth looking into as that is a health risk.  There was a faint smell on arrival (like menthol cigarettes) but it quickly dissapated. It would have been nice to have washing up liquid and a toilet roll holder. I'd also recommend less vinegar when washing towels.  It was a nice room but expensive for what it is - I got a good rate but all other dates listed are upwards of three times the price and I'd expect a lot more.

Comfortable bed.

− Mold on the walls, very small bathroom. I had to pay an extra insurance using an external link.
