You get what you pay for. It’s extremely well situated. Couldn’t be much better location wise.
The studio itself is definitely in need of refurbishment. The shower is sealed using what looks like carrier bags and tape and is quite dirty around the sides. The entire bathroom needs replacing really. The kitchen area is well supplied but again, is tired and could do with a good clean or refurb. The bed is a death trap! There is an old wardrobe set up with over the bed cupboards at head height. We had to sleep at the foot of the bed to avoid hitting our heads every time we sat up. Everything generally felt tired and old. We slept ok, although were woke at 2am by the people above having some serious domestic issues which were quite disturbing. The man was shouting and screaming that he was going to kill the other person and we could hear the furniture being thrown around. I almost called the police.
I wouldn’t want to stay there as a single female. It didn’t feel secure. We also had a mix up with keys as the code given was wrong. Nick did get back to us after a while but we then couldn’t put them back because it was like trying to get into an escape room with all the codes, locks, keys, chains and boxes. In the end we gave up! Sorry Nick. Hopefully the cleaner will find the keys. They are in an obvious place.
