Whilst the overall experience was a good one, we were initially put off by the appearance of the building. It is somewhat run down and feels like a dodgy area. This did come as a slight shock as we had google mapped Deaconess Gardens (which is what is stated in the listing) but the actual address is in Carnegie Court. The owner did explain the reason for this but to be honest, the reason didn't completely make sense. Despite this initial bad impression, the apartment itself is nice and well equipped. I would like to note that there was a damp smell in the living room but the rest of the apartment was fine. Whilst we never actually met Lidia, she was great with communicating the details of the stay and also made recommendations about what to see and do. I would also like to say that Lidia was the most generous host we've ever had in terms of providing breakfast items, fresh fruit, all different types of teas and coffees and also a few welcome beers. The bathroom was also well stocked with a variety of toiletries to use.
