Although Diane’s loft is clean, spacious and modern it’s not particularly suitable for a long term stay.
We were not told that the cafe closed until the day before we arrived but in hindsight that was probably a blessing as the other work taking place there was quite noisy often with quite loud music playing below.
The oven tripped out constantly making it impossible to use. There is quite a distinct smell that comes from the cheesery or distillery that is always present upstairs and quite unpleasant.
The hot water system was not sufficient for the time we stayed, despite having the shower on full heat it barely got hot enough which was not fun during winter. There is no dryer or clothes line, just a clothes horse we placed in front of the fire- which was not great for the 7 week stay.
Be warned there is not a morsel of food in the apartment, we arrived very late in our first night and there was absolutely nothing there- I know that is not a requirement but often there is something- so just be prepared.
Diane was ok to communicate with but on requesting few things I was told to go downstairs and ask the staff which I felt to be a bit inappropriate and felt like an inconvenience.
It is a nice apartment, looks beautiful, location is great and view is lovely but did have a few negatives for us for such a long stay.
