The flat was in a lovely area, lovely cafes, bars and shops, felt really safe and good transport. There were a few things I hadn’t realised about the flat though which did affect our stay.
There weren’t any windows in the basement flat which made it feel very dark and claustrophobic. The front door is glass but quite heavily frosted and because of the layout it didn’t let in much light. The bedroom had a set of windows, both again heavily frosted and one didn’t open and the other opened to ground level outside so didn’t feel safe to leave open overnight or for a long period of time. This meant that it felt very dark but also that it was really hard to have airflow moving through the flat which was tricky in July and also when the bathroom radiator didn’t turn off and made the flat really warm.
There was also very limited phone signal and the WiFi was very weak, I wasn’t able to use my phone in the property at all and the TV struggled to connect to the WiFi too.
The last thing was just the noise from upstairs - the people upstairs weren’t disruptive at all but still you can hear every step, conversation, the rolling of suitcases etc which was very loud. It was a lovely stay in a safe-feeling area and good communication but it did feel a bit overpriced with these elements considered. Either way though we had a nice stay but I wish I’d realised those things in advance.
