The flat is wonderfully well set up / kitted out, the best I’ve ever stayed at in fact, there are little touches everywhere to make it homely and it seemed to me that the owner has thought of everything guests might need.
In terms of what is in the drawers and cupboards you’ll find everything you’d expect to if you were staying with a friend or in someone’s flat - this place is homely, not sparse like many rented place! Everything I needed was here to cook a meal if we didn’t go out but there are also plenty of places to collect a take away from or you could get food delivered and choose one of the many dvds from the shelf.
The host has been very thoughtful and left the basic food stuffs you need on arrival including tea, coffee and cereal. In the fridge we found fresh milk (dairy and oat), juice and perseveres. There is washing up liquid, shower gel etc too.
The location is really good, on a road just behind Gloucester Road so it is very close to all the shops, restaurants and pubs yet separated from all the hustle and bustle. The bedroom is at the back so there is no noise at all disturbing your sleep.
There is a work desk and a dining table in the living room and well chosen lamps give a nice ambiance in the evenings. The bed is comfortable with four plump pillows and a feather duvet which kept us cosy. The towels were thick and fluffy.
The heating was easy to use and you can control radiators individually.
The access and welcome info is very clear and the owner is very approachable, she is nearby if you need to contact her or ask any questions.
If you have any mobility issues be aware there is a step up to get to the area kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. There is a small level change / step up into the bathroom. A sensor light on the skirting board highlights this at night which is a great idea.
