* Make sure you check whether the construction site right next door is still underway. *
We were not informed of massive building works right outside the property on booking, and were horrified to be woken on the first morning after checking in the precious evening. The work started at 6am, the cacophony of drills, saws, angle grinders, shouting men and a lot of banging metallic sounds was a such wonderful way to wake up early each day!
On calling to report the issue after no one responded to emails we were told nothing except sorry for your inconvenience via an automated email and no return phone call offering a solution.
Our complaints of the noise were ignored for the duration of the trip and we felt really let down by the host not providing us with an option to find an alternative place to stay, even though the man on the telephone said he would get right back to us.
The place overall would have been fine to stay in had it not been for the construction site noise. The bathroom was clean, didn’t use the kitchen as we wanted to spend as little time as possible in the apartment due to the noise and heat.
A side note- see previous renters comments below... on making suggestions to the host, previous renters mentioned issues and were branded slanderous and hateful liars. They are only pointing out things to make others aware of issues faced during their stay and are in no way bending the truth.
The carpets are indeed stained throughout and the sheets are also stained.
The location is great for public transport links and local amenities.
The building is tidy and safe.
The noise from the refuse/ trash collectors/ bin men will also disturb you.
And lastly people will let themselves into your apartment whilst you are not in without informing you they will be doing this.
We were offered compensation on the day we checked out but would have loved to have been given the option to stay elsewhere.
Enjoy your stay, hopefully without the added construction soundscapes to lull you awake in the morning light.
