There was a smell in the kitchen (I think it's the drainage), and the roof was leaking when it rained hard, otherwise the apartment was nice and clean and the furniture was very nice too. I do think it should be more clearer description on the advertisement about the amount of stairs. I do have to say our host Claire was very helpful with anything we needed and the area was very good too... shopping was within walking distance and Claire tried to sort out the parking for 2 cars. However our cars were too big for the garage! (they are normal size for UK) we ended up paying on the street.
