when arriving at the Airbnb the key was a sliding folding key which became stiff to extend but as I was fumbling with the lock, I could hear voices from the other side of the door, as this was self check-in we were confused. Turns out the cleaners were still present at the address upon arrival. (this was 40 minutes after the check-in time) once we were finally in we were greeted with a heavily stained sofa and a coat rack that nearly fell off the wall. On first inspection it didn't seem too bad but as we looked more the more we unravelled. The cupboard with the mirror which contains the broom and dustpan fell on me as I opened it! on further inspection it wasn't screwed into the wall and could have been a disaster as in front of the cupboard is a glass table.
To make matters worse the fridge did not close properly and was going to run some cold water from the sink could have potentially burnt me as the cold and hot Taps were the wrong way round.
Moving on to the bathroom the toilet seat was barely hanging on and moved from side to side freely. (not to be picky but to also add the bathroom door is out of plum so it doesn't correctly shut)
The other concern we had was the electricity as one of the light switches did not work properly and got stuck half way. And the plug socket next to the bed was barely attached to the wall. Other safety concerns were the front door only closes on a latch and can't be locked from the inside. The area was also a slight down note as the property is surrounded by derelict buildings that squatters had moved into making it unsafe to travel back late at night.
The Inkeeper team were very responsive and I feel like this property has a lot of potential if these issues could be rectified. The water was hot and a washing machine is definitely an added bonus alongside towels, another positive was the TV which was an adequate size. we also cooked during our stay and the stove and cutlery were also very adequate.
