The studio is a lovely place to stay, in a stunning heritage building and the location couldn't be more central, all of which we loved, but it is definitely not for anyone with children. Unfortunately our host clearly has not got any knowledge at all about children or what to expect, including guests actually using the kitchen and really living in the flat. Most guests likely do what we used to and just sleep in an airbnb flat while going out for all meals. With 16 month old twins we cooked almost all of their meals and ours in the flat and as a result we produced rubbish which seemed to be unacceptable despite all the bags being tightly tied shut and placed outside to prevent any odours. The fact there were nappies in the rubbish also seemed a shock to our host as if we could take 3 days worth of nappies from twins with us with no access to rubbish removal ourselves.

The fact the kitchen wasn't perfectly clean also seemed to be a major issue. We left all of the dishes washed and put away, along with the counters, stove and sink but we were told off for the fact that the kitchen floor was not perfectly clean despite there being no dustpan, brush, broom or mop! We did our best to clean up with paper towels but I think the host expects the flat to be found exactly as he left it which is difficult if you use the kitchen and don't have the proper cleaning supplies.

We were also told about the noise after arriving which was frustrating as with baby twins we really need all the sleep we can get and there are often party goers in the alley outside the flat who can make quite a bit of noise. If you are planning on being out a lot yourself then this likely isn't a problem, but with children it is a bit different.

There are two historic glass doors hanging from the ceiling as an ornament which are stunning but quite a hazard for toddlers! The wiring is all fixed under the desk as well so we needed to be barricaded off to prevent a major mishap.

In summary, if you want just a bed and a place to make a cup of coffee in a beautiful flat in a great central location with all that offers in terms of amenity and downtown noise then this will be ideal for you, but if you have any children then it would be better to look for something else (though I suspect the host will not be accepting any more children after discovering what that entails!).
