A convenient, central location with clean facilities.
Upon arrival, a resident greeted my partner and I as we were heading up the stairs. He made some unwanted comments about my appearance that made me feel uneasy. That aside, we didn't have any more unpleasant interactions with any residents for the remainder of our stay.
Please be aware that there are three flights of stairs that you will need to climb to reach the accommodation. The view from the top landing is beautiful - you can see the harbor in its entirety.
The accommodation is touted as a modernized flat. While the art and decor is a nice personal touch and is very modern, it lacks modern amenities such as heating, WiFi, and a fully functioning kitchen (the oven and range hood light did not work). If you’ve glossed over the amenities not included, this is your reminder.
The accommodation also does get quite cold at night. However, the electric blankets in the bedroom were a nice touch.
While “no smoking” was listed in the house rules, cigarette smoke could be smelled drifting in through the ceiling vents (most likely from a neighbor). Unfortunately, we were unable to relax and unwind due to the ever-present smell for the entirety of our stay.
These various issues were brought up to the owner, to which she replied (over 36 hours later) that the “wind must be blowing in the wrong direction” in regards to the smoke.
We had chosen the location based off of previous positive reviews, but we must have booked in at a wrong time. Overall, while there were some pros to the accommodation, the cons definitely outweighed them and made for an underwhelming experience.
