I had an interesting stay at this apartment.
While it was affordable and in a good location, I felt disappointed that I had booked in here and even considered changing my accomodation after the first few days.
Coming from a hot country which is currently having a summer, I found the English weather cold.
Although advertised as having heating, the heating was not turned on for the first three nights. It appeared that the heating was only turned on when the family was home - and they were often out in the evening when it was getting particularly cold.
I asked about the heating via text the first night and got no response. Eventually after 3-4 days when I started getting sick from being so cold at night I messaged them through the air bnb app and the heating situation improved.
It was advertised as a budget room so be prepared for paint stains on the floor and some stains on the red curtains. Some peeling wallpaper and some unpainted patches of walls.
There was one chest of drawers which would have provided ample storage space however it was filled with children’s clothes, and was falling apart. The drawers were sitting at an angle and their were many small nails coming out of the mdf back which was a safety hazard.
The table had some valuable space taken up by a tv that didn’t work.
There was also a big empty box which took up more space.
At times the apartment smelt strange like vaping was taking place. One night while I was sleeping the smoke alarm went off on two seperate occasions which woke me up.
The room was advertised as quiet however be warned that there is a family with small children living above your room. They quite often stamp and make a lot of noise. The neighbours I believe may partake in some strong scented extra curricular activities.
The room came with a kettle, mug, spoon, tea and coffee and a mini bar fridge which was handy.
The room also had decent speed internet which was also a good feature.
This room has the potential to be nice if it gets a little bit of work. At the moment it just feels like a typical spare room which gets a lot of neglect and has things stored in it.
I think if you stayed here just a night it might be ok however I spent nearly two weeks here and did not enjoy my experience at all.
