First off, the location is perfect. 20-30 min walk to the city centre and 20 mins the other way to the canals/media city. the block of flats itself is also very secure and in an open, lit area, so safety was never an issue.
Unfortunately there were a few things to note about the flat. Upon entering, considering the cleaning fee, the flat was not cleaned properly. along the sides and behind furniture was quite dusty, so we had to do some cleaning ourselves.
The lighting is also jarring and uncomfortable, as all the bulbs are a cold white light (a bit like a warehouse or shop), and there were no lamp shades, so just making the flat feel a bit more homely would be good.
I also ended up leaving my car parked on the public street outside of the car park (not too many spaces, was lucky to get one!), because the check-out instructions confused me, where you should lock the flat, open the gate from upstairs and then leave the keys in the letter box and go to take your car. I timed the gate time to open and close, and it was approx 1 minute in total, which I'm not sure is enough time to take the lift down, get in your car, and get out of the gate.
For a short stay, the location is perfect and the downsides can be tolerated, although I wouldn't want to stay multiple nights.
just a few little changes can improve the place massively, to go from an average stay to a great one!
