The flat is in a great location, very close to Clifton village which has lots of great shops and cafe’s. It was also easy to get from here into the city centre.
Inside it is as it is shown in the pictures so no surprises there which was great. As has been previously mentioned it is a good size for a studio flat.
One thing we were quite surprised hadn’t been picked up in previous reviews was how noisy the flat was. Not necessarily from the street as it’s not particularly busy but from the family home upstairs. The families children spent quite a bit of time running up and down the stairs and jumping around in the kitchen and we were shocked at the clarity with which we could here every move. This meant we were woken up every morning when the children woke and couldn’t sit in the flat in the evening due to the incessant banging. When the lights were off in our room and the lights were turned on in the room above you could see light coming through into our room around the spotlights, which demonstrates how little acoustic protection there is between the two spaces.
The central heating system is also inaccessible from the flat as it is the same system for the house above, which has been set to a timer that suits their family life, understandably, this does mean however that at points during the week the flat can be a little cold. The management team were very quick to supply us with an electric heater when we asked if the heating could be adjusted.
With the flat being a basement flat there were also some small areas of damp on the walls. Some of our clothes came away with a white residue where they had brushed against these patches.
Otherwise all of the facilities worked as promised.
