Overall it was a good stay. It was very quiet except for the planes that passed by - however you couldn't hear them with the windows closed. The flat was very clean and Desmond kept everything organized. He also prepared measures against Covid by providing hand sanitizer and wipes.
The shower made our experience a little stressful because you couldn't exactly get warm water. It would switch between hot to cold then warm and super hot. When we asked how to work the temperature Desmond gave us a vague answer which wasn't really helpful.
If you're staying here, I'd recommend maybe staying for a night, otherwise dealing with that shower might be too irritating.
You want to turn the left handle all the way up, then shower in the warm/cold phases and avoid the water in the hot phases.
We never actually saw Desmond, although he was in the flat. I think he wanted to give us privacy.
He gave us free bottles of water and there are various free things.
When asked about the washing machine, he said it's only for people staying 7 days or longer.
We asked if we could pay him extra to use it, but he claimed the water bill is too high. I didn't understand why we couldn't pay if it's just a matter of money but oh well.
The immediate environment of the flat is a bit desolate - but the train and a supermarket and pharmacy are very close.
