This quirky little studio was in a great location- not far from all modes of public transport.
It is in a nice quiet area with all things you require within walking distance.
The start up pack of bread, butter, milk and juice was gratefully received.
The photos are quite deceptive as the studio is somewhat smaller than we expected. There is lots of clutter and this gives you a sense of feeling quite enclosed.
The mattress on the floor on the mezzanine level is also a rather tight spot- the ceiling being at arms length can feel quite claustrophobic.
Some renovation work was clearly being carried out which we were unaware of- chunks of plaster off the walls and the ceiling is waiting to be painted after having it re- plastered.
Maya was good at communicating with me and gave me all the information I needed for check in and other things like the wifi code. She gave me her number where I was able to call her but fortunately we did not need to do this.
We arrived at the studio early so on a whim we buzzed the apartment on the off chance that someone would be there. After 30 minutes of waiting in the heat Fatima came to the door but did not hear us buzzing. It would appear that there is a fault with the intercom system.
The kitchen has limited pots, pans and crockery although there are several bottle openers and cork screws! So cooking a decent meal for your partner is really out of the question unless you're happy with an expensive microwave meal from the Tesco Metro.
It was almost impossible to grill a few rashers of bacon as the smoke alarm was going off intermittently despite all of the windows and doors been open and no smoke!
The place would have benefited from a good dusting and polishing.
The bathroom plug was full of long dark hair and scum.
The wifi was really fast and reliable
Unfortunately we would not stay here again.
