First off the location was great. Less than a two minute walk from Vauxhall station close to several good restaurants and a large Tesco.
The following the owner is aware of. The flat could be really nice but needs some significant work.
1. 2 missing panes in the windows.
2. The toilet was disgusting s d had to be cleaned prior to use.
3. The sofa is stained and gross. So gross I did not sit on it.
4. The hot water is problematic.
5. Light bulbs or electrical work or both need to be carried out in the flat.
6. The rear door to the building does not lock and therefore compromises safety.
7. The kitchen counter needs attention.
8. The floor of the apartment needs a steam clean.
9. I had to fix the curtains do they closed.
10. Probably the worst area was the common entry. The snell of mold and the dirty stained floor and stair carpet was horrendous. Had we had someplace else to go I would have as the common area, which the owner says he does not own, is appalling. The walls are dirty and damaged and the whole entry is unclean and shabby.
I did inform the owner of the flat about these issues and he was apologetic and gave us a partial refund. However, I feel he knew about these issues prior to me reporting them. Yet he chose not to take care of them prior to my sharing concern. I wonder if the next guest is staying under the sane conditions.
