To begin, it's a lovely little space with so many touches you wouldn't expect for the price point, especially in the kitchen. A great selection of tea, coffee, eggs, milk, bacon and all the kitchen equipment you could need, really easy to cook in there! The bed was really comfy, great heating/cooling aircon unit and the bathroom is modern and functional (no door but it does tell you this before you book) - we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived but unfortunately we didn't have the best stay. When we booked, I don't believe the listing said it was essentially a garage conversion under a house - wouldn't be a problem if there wasn't another airbnb next door with a wall so thin you could hear what show they are watching on tv. We were kept up until 12 to somebody watching a movie on full volume, which Louis did sort out when we messaged but there really needs to be some obvious signs to respect the people next door/quiet time rules etc. We could also hear the family upstairs moving. For us, and I doubt we are alone, the quality of your sleep really impacts how you view the whole accommodation experience which is why we are having to give a negative review despite the actual room being lovely. What was even more frustrating is it appeared to us Louis changed the listing after we complained the first night to include a quiet time after 10pm - which we hadn't been made aware of before and if it was in place, our neighbours clearly didn't pay any attention to it - and mentioning of a noisy family upstairs and a noisy street. It seemed unprofessional and like he was trying to undermine any review we made. If the listing had been more clear about what the place really was, we wouldn't have booked. There are other reviews mentioning how noisy it is - I'm sure this isn't a problem for some people but it needs to be made a lot more clear.
Other issues:
-You can't open windows so it smells of cooking/wet towels unless you sit with the front door open
-There isn't really anywhere to eat apart from the bed/one person can sit at the desk facing the wall.
-Not the safest feeling street, the parking wasn't ideal and certainly wouldn't be if you arrived in the dark
-The electric didn't feel safe - two 4 socket powder adapters plugged into one actual socket
- too small to open suitcases up and still have any floor space
