Whilst the property was clean and as described, there were several elements which made the stay below par.
Let’s start with the positives - Communication was good. The flat was as described. Park on Grindlay Street for cheap 24 hr parking, it’s a god send. The location is reasonable and within close proximity of the tram stop. Access to the flat is relatively easy. The flat is spacious and fairly modern internally.
Negatives - The hot water cylinder, shower, water supply and toilet flush are extremely loud. The hot water cylinder or toilet resets/flushes itself every couple of hours and makes a very loud noise (you can imagine how tiresome this is during the night time). The mattress is a very firm and thin spring mattress which gave both my wife and I back and hip aches. The main entrance door didn’t need a passcode to gain entry. You can literally push the door open at any time of the day and there is no way to lock it from the inside. Anyone who isn’t a resident can gain access to the main building therefore, the risk of intrusion is high (I was quite alarmed by this). Lastly, the timber stairs creak when you’ve passed flat 1. Even on the first second floor you can hear people walking up the stairs in the night. Stairs to the bedroom creak too.
