I would like to start with the pros of the property: the location is excellent, very close to the university and quick access to the city centre by taking the bus or walking. Also, communication was excellent and prompt, never had to wait too long for a reply.
Now the cons: even though the property was clean, you could see things that are shocking to see in a property that charges £70 for cleaning after every guest leaves. There is mold in the bathroom and in certain places in the rooms. There are dispensers for shampoo and conditioner but they are empty without providing any products. Moreover, the kettle and the toaster look like they have never been cleaned after being used extensively for years. The terrace is a very nice space to spend some time outside but it is clear it has never been touched nor cleaned. The “ashtray” attached to the wall was full of cigarettes and combined with the humidity offered a gross view of the terrace. The trees and the plants were also never trimmed and allowed to grow free.
It is also important to mention that nowhere in the apartment’s ad was it mentioned that the property is below the main house, I would even call it a basement. The pictures make the property look luxurious but in al honesty this property is great for just sleeping for a night and spend no time in it during the day. Also, the humidity in the apartment is so high that it might even cause you lung damage if you stayed long enough.
