This place is BIG, and features really high ceilings. Somehow the photos don't capture it.
I'm writing this as an American and maybe we don't understand old world charm so take my critiques as they are:
- Three of the bedrooms face the street and you can definitely hear street traffic, but the neighborhood is fairly quiet and it wasn't too bad. The neighborhood has some nice shops and eateries but parking is non-existent - we parked about a 20-minute walk away.
- Most surfaces were very clean (throughout the kitchen and bed linens especially), but the floor was a bit dirty throughout with dust bunnies around. My toddler found a dirty hair comb under the couch and started combing it through her hair...
- There was a bit too much in disrepair for the price. For 450 GBP per day, I expect the kitchen faucet handle to not be broken, the towel bar in the master bath not to fall off the wall, the room chandelier to work, and most importantly, for the master bath toilet to FLUSH (it worked fine the first day and then stopped working by the second).
- And some really minor issues: There is a nespresso machine but no nespresso capsules provided. And the floor in general was REALLY creaky. Everytime we walked down the hall, we feared we would wake the children who had gone to bed.
But maybe this is just old world charm.
