Appartement:
The pictures on the website are showing a better condition as we have experienced (e.g. no curtains, bathroom worn-out, dishes & glasses are missing (e.g. there were only 3 wine glasses left).
I think it would also be worthwhile to mention that the double beds are only 140 cm wide….I would not consider that as a real double bed. In general some refurbishing is needed. The kitchen appliances are worn out as well – the oven takes for ever to heat up and there is only one matching glass shelf in the fridge (there are two more but they are not wide enough so you cannot use them).

Location:
Yes – you are right in the middle of the lively Northern Quarter and you have a lot of bars and restaurants in walking distance bit that comes with a price. It is very loud. There are the glass bins which are emptied every morning around 7 with a terrible noise, there are delivery trucks parking right in front of the building with their engines running and there are a lot of noises out in the street (especially during the evening and nights). The biggest problem is the adjacent Jazz Club right next to the building. There are live gigs every evening and the PA speaker are so loud that you hear everything and even feel the bass in the appartement. The gigs stop around 1.00 am – before that there is no sleep – not even with the noise canceling headphones we used. So either you want to go out and party yourself or you have to be aware of that.

Hosts:
Check in and check out was easy as there are key boxes. Matt & Steph were always reachable and reacted fast.

Summary:
This place is great if you want to dive in the lively Northern Quarter yourself and you want to stay right in the middle. We stayed there for two weeks and for us it was too loud. Previous reviews were not mentioning the noise at all.
