This flat is a good size for our family of 4. The living is well lit during the day. Dining room table spacious. Kitchen is pretty well appointed if you want to cook some easy meals. Generally speaking, the things and areas guests would touch or use were clean. This is an older flat with what look to be original trim and millwork with some remodel in the bath and kitchen
Location is on a quiet street. For 2-4 people we decided it was cheaper and easier for us to take a taxi to get around.
James’ support team was communicative with pre checkin, during checkin.
A few thing to note:
1. Countertops and shower caulk is mildewy. This is not necessarily the cleaner’s fault. The flat and garden could use some maintenance.
2. No freezer that we can find. They said one is in the washer closet but we didn’t find, maybe one in a dark hall closet with owners things, We ended up eating all our ice cream and the other frozen foods we bought the night we bought it.
3. The washer does have a dryer function. I’m not sure that the support team has the most current info because they told me during booking that it’s just a drying rack.
4. The light bulbs are undersized… the living room and hallway are very dark after closing the blinds for the evenings.
Generally speaking, the flat works as a home base. It’s is supplied with essentials like towels, shampoo. But supplies like detergent, spices, oils are whatever is there and not regularly replenished or is old/dried that one wouldn’t want to use. The flat ticks the boxes for amenities and day-to -day surfaces being clean, but wasn’t quite the inviting feel-clean that we experienced in other vacation rentals.
