The host did not come when promised, it was clear that no-one was dispatched until the second phone call which is disappointing as we hurried to be on time and then waited 15 minutes before calling. Bit annoying!

The apartment was small and the sofa bed has a mattress on top of the original one which causes it to dip in the middle somewhat and meant my husband had terrible sleeps.

The apartment is adjacent to the lift shaft (as in it goes around it) and this was going until gone midnight. It's very central and the streets are noisy until the morning. The apartment was the only one for miles around without shutters, which would have helped with the noise I'm sure. On my two days away from being woken in the night by my children I was woken ever more.

The place itself is okay, the carpets and furnishings are basic and in truth I was disappointed for the price. The cleaning fee was £40 odd and a compete rip off for the size of the place.

The terrace goes out the studio room and there is a narrow staircase - there are only a few blocks that have the panoramic view - it's on the 5th floor so higher than most other buildings offering a great view.

I would not stay here again and I am surprised by the rave reviews this place gets. Not awful by any means but my expectations were perhaps too high!
