The aesthetic was really nice and the check in was super easy we really appreciated being able to have early access as we were travelling quite a distance. The communication with the owner was really good and quick.
There were a few things I would nit pick. Some of the light fixtures in the bathroom had bulbs that weren’t working and the light switch for the bathroom had to be pressed several times to work. The door knob on the bathroom would get jammed so we couldn’t close the door properly when needing the toilet. The tap in the bathroom was also loose and came off several times. These are things that could be very easily fixed by a handyman and didn’t disrupt our stay too much however I would expect all of these to be checked and working before we arrived for the price.
There was also quite a lot of noise from people coming in and going to sleep people above were very noisy walking around, additionally the bathroom had noise from above as well and we assume they can probably hear us just as easily as there were bedrooms below us too. We understand this can’t easily be changed however thought it should be mentioned for people before booking as we were woken a few times in the night and morning by it. In the day it mattered less to us as we were out and about but it depends how deep a sleeper you are. For us we would have definitely liked a warning beforehand and maybe some sound proofing options could be installed to improve this.
The mattress was comfy on the bed, the pillows could be updated as they were quite scratchy, I would recommend bringing your own.the view from the back was a construction site so we kept the curtains closed as felt it was a bit overlooked. There is also a wood supplier opposite the property which can also make a bit of noise on occasion however this wasn’t too bad. I would mention for people visiting it is a student area primarily so you can expect a fair bit of noise from them arriving home at silly o’clock, this was anticipated though.
Overall we had a nice stay it was a good location to the centre and we had everything we needed during our stay. There was a heating system which was useful when it got cold. The tv was also great for the evening as it’s a smart tv so great access to many apps. The kitchen was small but had enough utensils for little things you might need, including a fridge, oven and hob. Towels were provided which was nice and the bathroom and kitchen were fully stocked with soaps and washing up liquid. The curtains were really good for blocking out light in the morning as well.There was easy Uber access from the property into the centre (about 20min drive) and lots of takeaway and supermarket options close by.
