Handy location - probably a 15-20 walk into town, or 7 mins to the bus stop.
Pretty quiet neighbourhood - no parties or music was audible from the surrounding residential streets. Old floorboards so you can hear people walking around a bit but Simon’s neighbours are quiet so we had no issues. I’m very very fussy with noise and I had no issues, so I would recommend it as a peaceful place.
As others have said, the bathroom is a funny set up and a bit small but it’s not a big deal.
Everything is good. It’s a nice flat in a good location and Simon is a nice guy. Would recommend.
There are only two things that I would flag - not bad things but they may be important for some people:
1) the bed is a divan base on legs with one of the thin Ikea mattresses. Some people like beds like that, but if you are very fussy (I think of my Dad when I write reviews) then maybe you would struggle with the Bed.
2) The flat is normally Simon’s home and is decorated as such. This means there are nice homely touches and lots of design pieces from Hays (I think?), so a nice place to stay. But there was therefore no storage space - e.g. wardrobe had clothes in. We were only there for a few days so it was no problem, but again some people may be more fussy.
Again, I would recommend Simon’s Home. It’s quiet, well decorated and in a good location.
