This is student accommodation, which in itself is not a bad thing. But it is NOT good value for money.
For the £500+ we paid, we were provided with 1 towel each (how to dry our hair?) and 1 pillow each. Unlike your usual air bnbs, there were no dishwasher tablets, no tea towel, no bin bags, no condiments, no drying rack, no laundry detergent and there were not sufficient kitchen appliances. The television also didn’t work. This is not what you expect from an air bnb.
There were also some funny communication issues. For example I emailed to ask for a hairdryer and was met with resistance saying they don’t supply them. After I pointed out their ad says otherwise, they still resisted. Then I went directly to front desk and they provided me one without question (from a closet that was FULL of them). So that seemed odd and made unnecessarily difficult.
I guess during the fringe festival they’re going to charge unreasonable prices because there’s always going to be people who need accommodation. But they really should be providing more for those kind of prices.
