This place isn’t for people who like to stay in clean places or building. The hallway and staircases to the apartment is very dark and dingy. The front door I found very difficult to open and even to leave the apartment took me a little while to figure out. The main hallways is very large with high ceilings, upon walking through things seemed ok after little sleep and a long journey getting there. But once you wake up and really look at the place, it’s appalling. The walls are just filthy dirty everywhere. I don’t even know how to get walls that dirty. Cobwebs hanging from every ceiling. The headboards on both beds were covered in dust. The floors were dusty. There was a bowl of brown water and tons of cigarettes on the balcony. Dining chairs were dirty, everything I took from the cupboard I tried to wash but it was covered in limescale. The main bedroom wasn’t ready so we had to wait for a cleaner before we could settle in. The bathrooms were disgusting, mouldy, broken doors, broken drawers. The smaller bedroom was basically covered in a construction site outside. No daylight in the smaller room, you open it onto scaffolding. We were woken up by building works from very early AM. A spider crawled over my bed before I got in so I spent that one night in total panic and there was noise all night long, I don’t even know where from. The oven was gas and we kept nearly setting ourselves on fire to light the stove to make coffee. There’s a socket in the kitchen for the apparent amenities but the sockets looked too scary to even attempt to use. Most plug sockets didn’t work, some were hanging off the walls. The place is just dark and depressing. Huge extravagant lamp in the lounge with no light bulbs, clinical top light it is then. I actually found another place the first night and checked in the next morning it was that bad. The most confusing thing about this are the reviews from previous guests. I’ve actually lost faith in other people’s opinions.
The only thing I rate is the location but you couldn’t pay me to stay here again. I’d rather walk miles and be in a comfortable and clean environment.
