Our stay was fine, however there were a number of things that need to be fixed and sorted out.
Firstly, communication for our stay was non existent to the point that I was about to cancel our stay, when somebody finally acknowledged my messages and arrival time a couple of hours before we set off.
Secondly, you have to walk to a supermarket to collect your keys.
Unfortunately normal basic domestic provisions were not provided:-
No bathroom hand towel, only half a toilet roll, no tea towels in the kitchen, no kitchen paper, paper napkins and worst of all and most importantly there is no plug in the kitchen sink.
It is therefore impossible for any of the plates, bowls, cutlery etc to be cleaned hygienically, as everything can only be washed under a running tap.
There are no mirrors in the flat, apart from a small one in the dark windowless bathroom.
The cheap pillows felt like blocks of concrete.
We stayed one night, but there is a jarringly expensive cleaning charge of £50. For this fee, you are expected to empty your rubbish bins down 7 floors, locate your dustbin and dispose of your rubbish- I feel this makes the £50 cleaning fee extremely unfair.
To conclude, the poor communication, lack of basic domestic provisions, coupled with high cleaning fee, left us overall feeling disappointed.
These are simple things that can be fixed and I hope the owner gives this some careful consideration.
