Oliver the host was very pleasant to deal with via email and text. The keys were obtained from a nearby estate agents who were rather strange to deal with. When they showed us into the apartment one of the agents exclaimed that the place was "immaculate", which from a first glance at each room was clearly not the case. The flat was like a student halls of residence which had been severely neglected, then superficially cleaned, recarpeted and repainted, but signs of lasting damage were everywhere from the cracked mirror in the hallway to the broken toilet seat and cracked tiling in the bathroom, to the black mould around the kitchen sink. There was nothing homely about the place. Not a single plate, mug or piece of cutlery was supplied, rendering the kitchen useless. The lightly stained white furnishings and cream carpets in the living room were particularly uninviting. The TV didn't work. The bedrooms were filled with cheap, poorly assembled flat-pack furniture. I suppose the price is in line with the condition of the place, but the photos and description are deceptive. The location however is excellent and the off-street car parking is another bonus.
