The host was polite, friendly and easy to communicate with via message.
Let's start of with the positive - the apartment is in a fantastic location. The team line connection is across the block and the DFO is only a few minutes stroll. The check-in/out is a little strange as there are several smashed/cut locks in the area you collect your key but we managed it fine.
The apartment itself is quite spacious and bright, with a decent view of the street. There were several more minor issues - not enough to impact our stay as we were only three two nights, but I have raised with the host to address:
- Overall the apartment needs a really deep clean, as it is tidy on the surface but a closer inspection shows it is quite dirty with a blood (like) spatter on the back of the door, hairs on the chairs, stained pillows and blankets ect.
- Several taps and door handles are very, very loose
- the pillows were really thin and even adding the spares did not help, the spare pillows were no covered and they were stained
- the blankets were thing so really needed at least one extra on each bed.
- There was no tea/coffee available as in the description

Overall, this could be a great apartment due to the location but it really needs a good clean, updating of the bedding and attention to detail. The apartment is cheaper than others in the area but I would not stay again in the current condition.
