I was confused that we were able to collect keys & drop luggage from 11 BUT aren’t supposed to check in until 4pm!? However having advised we had dropped luggage (before 4) we were then told the flat was ready for check in anyway; which was a bonus. Nice big bath sheets. Cleaning materials readily available & all items you may need for a longer stay. Such as dish washer, washing machine, fridge, iron/ironing board, hairdryer, hoover etc. Also had hand wash, tea towel, shower gel, shampoo & conditioner Incase you forget yours, which was a bonus because I did forget mine! Quiet area, shops, deli, bus stop, laundrette literally in row of shops underneath! Only a short walk to train stations.

− Flat not filthy but not particularly clean either. Could definitely use more attention to detail and a bit of a spruce up. Such as inside of microwave, cupboard doors, appliances (like kettle for example), tiles, doors, inside fridge/freezer, radiators etc.Furniture tired and worn. Sofa bed very uncomfortable and a bit of a pain to pull out initially. Went away easier! Curtains a bit flimsy and mismatched/missing in areas. WiFi wasn’t working. TV (seemingly Virgin Media) disconnected. TV remotes not working either so couldn’t even navigate regular channels easily. I did try using buttons on side of tv but not very well.

Lovely accommodation.

Mostly great flat that could use a little glow-up

The location is great and the flat itself is very spacious and comfy. Towels were also provided, which was nice. There is also a very nice bakery right below the flat if you want to treat yourself for breakfast. The owner seemed communicative and kind. Some of the previous reviews were concerning but we didn’t have any issues with picking up the keys and the “weird smell” some people described is just cigarette smoke that seeped into the walls in the hallways but we couldn’t smell it in the flat itself. We also didn’t feel that the neighbourhood was dangerous in any way. In fact, everyone we talked to was very kind.

− The fridge didn’t close properly and the washing machine looked mouldy. The floors and the bathroom could also use a deep clean. If you mostly want to use the flat just as a place to sleep, it doesn’t really matter but if you want to make use of the amenities, it might become an issue. Perhaps more detailed house rules would help keep the flat in a better condition.
