The basement flat was cosy and comfortable. I stayed there for a month and I enjoyed the space and spending time in the flat. You don’t get much light from the windows but it still felt light and airy. It was a great bolt hole to come back to.
Reading the other reviews I knew about the boiler and WiFi before I arrived. The boiler noise is what it is and the WiFi is slow in the lounge but fast by the entrance at the opposite end of the flat so I just downloaded instead of streamed and everything was fine.
One thing, which is particular to me being 6ft 6, is the ceiling dips down over the the sink and cooker so I couldn’t stand up fully when cooking or cleaning, everywhere else was fine.
Richard is a great host. He was friendly, got back to me really quickly and was very accommodating to any issues I had.
The location is great, it’s right by coffee shops and boutiques. Decent food shops are short walks away and there are plenty of good restaurants and cafes nearby too.
