CLEANLINESS 3/5
- Pretty much all the open shelves, behind the curtains, and all the corners were dusty. And the mat under the mattress was dirty.
- The plates in the kitchen cabinet had dry food in them.
+ No insects, clean sheets, otherwise clean everywhere.
CHECK-IN 2/5
- Only one key. We struggled so much with having just one key.
- Check-in time. We understand, that cleaners have to do their job, but when the only possible flight arrives in the morning, it really does annoy to hang around and wait for almost 7 hours.
+ Getting in. The whole key system was so much easier than we thought!
Communication 5/5
+ Good communication, fast reply.
Location 3/5
It's located right above a club and surrounded by pubs and bars. So it does get a bit noisy around 22-02. Personally, I sort of enjoyed the noise. But if you're an extremely sensitive sleeper, I would take that into account.
- Does require a lot of walking.
+ Tesco around the corner. Lots of pubs, bars and churches near by. A 5 minute walk to a shopping centre. Bus stops near by. Gorgeous view from the big windows.
VALUE 3/5
We did pay a lot of money but the place didn't quite reach the expectations.
The place was missing some little personal touches, and here's a list for them:
- There was no place to dry the dishes.
- We had no hot water on the last day.
- Some sockets were not working.
- The bed duvet was tucked in, which meant that it only reached our stomach and made it cold in the night time. The mattress itself was comfortable, but for a longer person it was quite short.
- The kitchen seats were just terrible (a huge minus!). They are not designed for bigger people!
- The kitchen table was the only table and also it was so unsteady.
- There was no oven-paper and no kitchen-paper. We were only given one big towel/person. These are the little things that do matter.
- The heating kept changing. And the floor was really cold. Personally, the whole heating thing didn't bother us.
- We were told, that the flat is on the first floor, which in many countries mean the same as ground floor in Scotland. So as a tip, I would mention that!
- No wheelchair access.
- No TV.
Otherwise, the place was good. Excellent free internet connection, more than one lock on the door and Yorkshire tea in the cabinet :)
