The street appeal is awful - I wondered what I was going to find inside as outside is dirty and neglected. The shower doesn’t give much hot water, and is cold for most of the shower. The tv reception is extremely poor, usually non-existent. It isn’t really clean, but also isn’t really dirty. The light globes on the ceiling weren’t all working so quite dull at night for reading. The bedside lamp didn’t work. There was a lot of street noise, especially with windows open for air, and upstairs tenants very noisy early and late. There was open food (rice, pasta, sugar etc) in the cupboard, some spilling out onto shelf - this would attract rodents.
Great to have a coffee plunger, and iron and small ironing board.
Great location for public transport.
