Maria tried to be helpful, but the flat lacked a few basic items on arrival, namely no microwave, kettle that was broken/leaking, an iron but no ironing board, 3 sharp knives but no 'butter knife', no toaster, kitchen bench seat half broken. Maria did subsequently provide a mini ironing board, replaced the broken kettle and supplied a toasted sandwich machine, but lack of microwave is a pain. Flat does not have a balcony and overlooks a set of garages. Bedroom is large. Front of block of flats reasonably lively though with a few shops, bar, and markets on Friday morning. Sort walk to Co-op supermarket and tram towards the city. No WiFi.
