The location is brilliant, couldn’t ask for a more social flat with a great balcony overlooking King Street and wonderful views. We were there on business but I could imagine that it might be a bit too noisy for a young family but we loved the atmosphere.
Check in was faultless and having a parking spot that close to the city centre is brilliant. The only slight downside is the pigeons that nest where you park and as a result your car will need a good clean after but definitely worth it!
Communication with Lou was really good and she was kind enough to message asking if we had checked in ok. We did have a slight issue whilst staying in that the top floor master bedroom flooded. Being that it was nice weather the window was left slightly ajar, whilst we were grabbing some food there was a heavy rain downpour and upon investigation the entire room was pretty much covered in an inch of water. Not idea as you can imagine. We managed to mop up the worst of it and lifted the rug and cushions in to the bath as they were both completely drenched. Upon inspection it was clear that this wasn’t the first time this had happened as the flooring in the room was water damaged underneath the rug to the point where it was curling up. The water ingress was so bad that it went through the floor to the ceiling in the downstairs bathroom underneath and water was dripping out from the down lights. We contacted Lou and she assured us that it was safe to be in the apartment but the damp smell was not great.
The accommodation location is what saves this listing and I imagine why it demands the price that it does but if it was anywhere else you would not be overly happy with the price nor the damp
