Accomodation didn’t match the advert which was very deceiving. This expensive accomodation more closely resembled a student share house. As a couple with a dog, we were looking for a comfortable apartment in a good location and paid more to have something that felt like home. This was the worst accomodation for the price we’ve ever stayed in!The location was the only good thing about it.
Check-in is pretty late already at 4pm but when we arrived it wasn’t ready until after 6pm. We were told the broken front gate was being fixed on Monday - turns out they tell everyone this - it was never fixed throughout our entire one month stay and is a security risk as it meant people can (and did) wander around downstairs and in the garage.
Our toilet was broken, again we were told it would be fixed the next day. It wasn’t. The shower leaked badly and there was no spare bedding, which we were told would be rectified the next day. We never heard again from the cleaner or owner who ignored texts.
The apartment was not very clean, very rundown and had really cheap, terrible furniture. Only one bed was even reasonable to sleep in. All bedding and mattresses were stained and mismatched.
The stove (cooker) only had two working rings (cooktops), there was only one tea towel provided and no other oven wear. There was also no washing up brush, sponge or dishwasher tablets etc which we would have expected at this price point.
Drawers and cupboards were full of old junk and stuff people had left behind and it was so badly kitted out with mismatched cutlery, plates and cups that we barely cooked a thing throughout our stay.
Third bedroom was the dining room and had a bookcase in the archway and a curtain over the doorway.
Sofas were broken and covered with some material so they didn’t need to replace it.
The garage is a 1+1 (tandem) which is not clear in the advert, so you have to negotiate with your neighbour to move cars around.
You can hear every sound from upstairs so we were woken up regularly.
However turned out this was a good thing when out downstairs neighbour got trapped in her bathroom at 2am as the cheap bathroom lock broke. She was able to shout up and we could talk to her through the walls as they’re so thin. Long story short we were her for three hours (she was there when longer) before a locksmith could get her out.
We ended up leaving early as we disliked it so much.
