IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT STAYING IN A PLACE BADLY MAINTAINED AND DIRTY STAY HERE!!
We did not have a good experience staying at this place. It actually ruined our holidays, we just wanted our stay to come to an end. Unfortunately, we couldn't move somewhere else or change our holiday plans, so we had to suffer it!.
The apartment is in a good location, close to the city centre, that's all but this fact does not justify the price we first paid (£152 per night).
The building is old, yes all around the area are old but this is not maintained at all; dirty walls, dark, smelly.
The apartment is a property split into two, you enter into a communal area and the door to this apartment is by the bedroom, so when you are having a rest or sleeping, if people from the other apartment are going in or are around, you will hear the noise and see the light that is usually left on.
Windows don't close properly, you can feel the draft coming from outside, not ideal if you are there in winter (like us); first morning we were woken up by the noise of the outside window banging (as it doesn't close!!) the guy manages this property mentioned windows will be repaired this year after April.
The bathroom was dirty, the showerhead is damaged so you can not place it at an appropriate height. The toilet rolls they supply... some sanding paper is smoother than that!!! The bathroom sink has a leak that it seems it has been for a long time (yes the managing guy came at 8:30 pm with a handyman to fix it, not the right time!!)
The kitchen had just one pot and one frying pan and not enough utensils to cook with (one spoon, one knife!!) we had to ask to have at least more pans. We love to cook when we travel, it wasn't easy in this place, the fridge is tiny like those of the minibar in a hotel room. The oven was disgusting, full of grease and dirt!. The microwave was dirty, walls and doors have dirty marks all around, the toaster was dirty...
In summary, we arrive at this place after a long journey to clean what we could, as we felt disgusted with the condition. We contacted Airbnb but it was impossible to find anywhere to move to (New year). The person who manages this place manages another 30+. If you are paying £40 for this place, yes it's OK, not if you are paying £152 or up to £450 as we noticed they charge during other seasons!.
Airbnb has helped us to get a refund (1/4 of what we paid) from this property, so we appreciate they accepted how bad this place actually is for the price we paid.
