Do not stay at this ex-council flat. It is disgusting, and actually smells of chip fat and greasy food. We arrived to find a pool of water under the radiator in the hall. There is a huge water stain on the wall and ceiling of the kitchen. The kitchen itself was unclean and the tap leaked, and there was a wet teatowel wrapped around to catch the leak. The fridge and freezer were both dirty with food stains. There were used teabags inside the kettle. The skirting boards were coming away all over the flat, and there was dirt and grime on every square inch of them. The carpet on the stairs was old and freyed, and a drawing pin had been used to keep it in place, which we later found sharp-side face up while walking up the stairs. The toilets upstairs were so small you could barely fit, and the one with the shower in meant you had a space of about 8inches to squeeze through to use the sink. There was old parcel tape covering what looked like a hole in one of the toilet windows, and the bathrooms had been poorly installed, with gaps revealing dirt and grime, and sealant everywhere. The walls of the entire flat were stained. Two of the bedroom doors would not fully close and the landing floorboards creaked so badly they kept people awake. We found an old tube of toothpaste in the shower, and a random water bottle on the landing. There were no curtains in my room, just netting, so I awoke with the sun. The funiture in the whole place was in disrepair, and my wardrobe had staples randomly fired into it. The mattresses were awful in two of the rooms. The balcony overlooked the housing estate carpark and was filthy with cigarette butts, and an old wet teatowela and rubbish in the corner. There was also cleaning equipment (hoover, mop, bucket etc) just underneath the stairs so you viewed it the whole time. I cannot stress how revolting this place was. Our booking was for my mum's birthday as well, and she was nearly brought to tears when she saw the place. Yvan was aware this was for her birthday but still let me book it. Do not stay here.
