The area is not very nice. Lots of shouting. I wouldn’t walk out there unless strictly necessary. The communal spaces (i.e. stairs and outside space in front of the house) are not well maintained. But all this is outside of the owner’s control.
The flat could be worth its money if the fittings and features were modernised, clean and better maintained. Shower rusty, not so hygienic, shower curtain very old and yellow, windows are not air tight, sofa is stained all over, handles missing from doors, the bedding was not up to standards, the toilet system gets stuck when flushing. Etc. It’s all things the owner can control and improve by giving the flat a refurbishment. It wasn’t cheap at all!! Personally I think it is not worth the money at this stage.
The host was very accommodating, friendly and communicated very well so I appreciated it.
