When we arrived we were so excited and happy to be here! We paid an extra £95 to check in at 11.30, but we waited 20 minutes for the host. There were transport issues, but it’s a lot with kids and luggage. The host was lovely and helped us settle in.
The location is fabulous, it’s a light filled flat with lots of space, you can open the windows for fresh air, fans for the little heatwave, it’s clean and has a deep bathtub. Massive fridge for a Tesco order of groceries, working stove, good wifi, and washing machine which was a lifesaver. We did enjoy our time here. Would I recommend to a friend? No. I know covid took its toll on tourism and properties, but it’s falling apart. Needs some love to get back to the advertised property, especially at this price point.
There were problems
- there is ONE set of keys, we are 4 people with different interests so we had to plan our days around who had one set of keys, I did read about this after I had booked, would have been a dealbreaker for us. We just wouldn’t stay somewhere with one set of keys. Really frustrating. I messaged to ask for an extra set, but no response.
-the couch is super stained, missing buttons, the problem when things are in bad condition is I worry whether they are going to try and blame us for the damage, I find that stressful
-the blinds are very thin, the whole place is bright at 4am when the sun rises
-the clothes horse is falling apart
- downstairs buzzer doesn’t work
-the handle on the wine fridge came off when the host showed it to us, we don’t drink wine, but if you do it might be an issue
-the light switches are tricky, never found the one to turn of the bathroom light
-the bed in one room had a single sheet on a double bed, couldn’t find another sheet, it was a hot week in a hot flat, sheets felt essential
This place could easily be 5 stars, it just needs love.
