Great WiFi and internet (we have five devices on all day) but if you’re using the place to “work from home” you are above a shop that plays music all day and the base thuds in the living room. Photos of the living room show blinds shut because you go out onto a roof which made me feel uneasy from security perspective. The photos make it look lighter and brighter.
The main bedroom while lovely and has the biggest and more comfortable bed, we couldn’t sleep in it as it’s on the main road and is next to the bus stop. The bus is frequent and runs past midnight so you can’t really relax in there, which is a shame as it’s the only TV where Netflix works. The bus waits at the stop (must be where it terminates/swaps drivers) for about 5-10 minutes with engine idling which is noisy and vibrates through the room.
The back bedroom which we had to sleep in, the bed is smaller and wasn’t that comfy and none of the beds had mattress protectors on. Would say this place is definitely more for those looking to have a short weekend city break with friends as opposed to anything more long term.
Location is on the main road. Close to shops, Co-op, cafes and restaurants, but as a result, it’s noisy.
This is the first floor apartment and there is another Airbnb apartment directly above. If they decide to have a party you will hear it, as we did on both Saturday nights we stayed. Altido responded to this appropriately, but again from security perspective, drunk people going up and down the stairs so they can smoke out the front, leaving the shared main front door open, didn’t fill me with confidence.
There are Romani gypsies who congregate/camp of a nighttime next to the front door or opposite the bedroom window. We didn’t have any issues with them but could be unsettling for some if arriving for the first time at nighttime.
Altido were overall great communicators. Any issues we had - eg with heating on first day, they promptly replied and sent an engineer to fix.
