The loft is in an excellent location, a stone's throw from the Metro station with good food and shops nearby, short walk into the main centre. The loft was left in a reasonable condition, some cleaning could still have been done before we arrived. However there were ample towels and sheets for us to use.

The loft was equipped OK, however some things to be noted.
- Though it advertises a DVD player, and a bunch of DVDs, there was no DVD player, nor was there a remote for the television. If we had requested one it may have been possible, however we only found this out when my partner and I went to settle down to watch a DVD in the evening and were left disappointed
- There is no toaster available and if you plan to do cooking then you may find yourself short of some important utensils like knives.

In winter, the loft was very cold. The two heaters provided were no where near sufficient to keep the main area warm. We managed to scrape by as we didn't wish to trouble the hosts, but it really wasn't warm at all even with the heaters on full.

The loft has been used for a cat, which I was not aware off. There were some areas which weren't cleaned properly and had residual cat hair left over, a problem if you are allergic like myself.

Prior to the booking as I was arriving early after 48 hours of travel, I had requested an earlier check in, by about an hour. Andre had said this would be no problem, but on the date we were advised otherwise, so we went out to have lunch and wait for the loft to be available. Unfortunately bang on 2pm as we were still having lunch Maria said she would not be available to wait to meet us as she had to go to work, so we had to let ourselves into the loft.

My biggest complaint was that Maria had requested full access to the loft on one day to show potential buyers into the space. giving me less than 24 hours notice about this. I had politely declined as I felt I had the option to do so, I had some high value belongings in the space and I didn't feel comfortable with random people walking around, furthermore I would have been required not to be present. She did not feel this was a "positive response" and made me feel pressured that I allow them access. When I advised her about my belongings and that she would need to take full responsibility for any missing items she simply said no need in a disgruntled manner and that she would find another solution.

I did like the loft itself, however it lacks some basic necessities and I was very put off by the expectation I should make a space that I had paid a large amount for open to public viewing
