This accommodation was a little below our expectations. A few of the fixtures need some repair (a couple of the cupboard doors in the kitchen and bathroom don't close properly, one of the towel rails in the bathroom was broken and therefore unusable, and we had great difficulty in opening and closing one of the windows).

The biggest downside was a rather strong smell of drains inside the apartment itself, which Liam's agent's friend (who met us) had tried to dispel, unsuccessfully, by opening a window. This is probably a problem that affects the whole building, not just this apartment.

But it was perfectly clean and, although the street itself is a little dowdy, it's on the edge of a lively network of backstreets with great bars and restaurants.

The studio was fine for the one night we stayed but we wouldn't want to spend several days there.
