K’s flat is okay - it has it’s pros and cons.
Pros: Excellent location, close to transport links, lovely view from the balcony, comfortable sofas, well equipped kitchen, provided late check-out.
Cons: The bed was very uncomfortable (could feel the springs in my back), the apartment was quite cluttered (I understand that this is somebody’s home so it’s not really a major issue), I felt like the flat could’ve been a bit cleaner (there was washing up left in the sink, hairs in the shower) and the WiFi was awful.
Check-in was ok - one of K’s friends met me with the key and showed me around the flat. I had a few issues with childcare so I was later checking in which K’s friend was very understanding. But K on the other-hand wasn’t too pleased, I felt she was quite abrupt/rude when she asked is there a reason for my delay and how she’s paying her friend £12 per hour since 3pm and she said in her exact words “are you going to reimburse me for this ??” Which I felt was extremely rude how she worded this. She was telling me to message her friend directly so I was updating him on what was happening, when I had left and my ETA and he was fine about this.
Check-out was fine - all I had to do was lock the flat door and post the key through the letterbox. I booked to stay here for two nights (Friday - Sunday) but I had to leave Saturday afternoon as my body ached from the uncomfortable bed and I had barely slept.
Communication was ok.
