The flat was fine, and it did look like the pictures, however I don’t think I’d stay again. I think the fact it is managed by an airbnb host company takes away any homely/personal feel. I asked if we could check in 1-2 hours early a couple of times (I thought 4pm was kind of late) and just got short, unpersonal replies telling me to ask closer to the time and then ‘maybe’ (in the end checking in early wasn’t allowed but no one actually messaged to say that). The process is also longer requiring you to send a copy of your ID etc which I have never done on Airbnb before.
Despite all the beds and kitchen being very clean, the sofa and all the cushions just felt a bit grubby (quite a few water stains on the sofa) - I realise they aren’t easily washable but I had to put a duvet on the sofa before I could relax. I also looked under the bed to get the remote and it was filthy, which just added to the grubby feel. The controls for the electric windows and light dimmers also didn’t work and the beds were also very soft which we found really uncomfortable. The location was good for what we needed, but I think overall the place was overpriced. They are about 5 new build flats all right next to each other (so if anyone is outside they are looking straight into the flats next door)… basically I would have preferred a hotel on this occasion I think… would have been cheaper too.
