The positives:
James and his team were responsive and communicated clearly.
The location is very good with South Preston Shopping centre just a short walk away, and a small park with play area also very close.
The shower pressure and temperature is good.
The kitchen is equipped with basic necessities for a short stay.
The negatives:
The place is very old and while generally clean, is in need of maintenance. The beds aren’t the best, the sofa is not very comfortable, and the rug doesn’t give a very clean feel and definitely has seen much better days. The washing machine is basic but useful though there isn’t a dryer and the clothes rack is very flimsy. The ironing stand is stained and we couldn’t get ourselves to use it.
The outdoor space has potential but was not at all well maintained, with overgrown trees and shrubs, and cobwebs and spiders everywhere.
The access to parking is pretty tight, but that was made clear in advance.
