Positives first: brilliant location just yards from Old North Church with loads of eateries round the corner and great Italian quarter ambiance. Flat was spacious enough for us 2 with kitchen, sitting area and bedroom all the more so since all is sparsely furnished. Being on top floor it is light with windows looking out on a courtyard and on to Hull Court. We returned to it after a day's visit with pleasure.
However, we were very anxious re. Fire risk. The flat is at the top of a narrow staircase and there is no fire escape. There was one operative smoke alarm in the sitting area but the one in the bedroom was open with no visible battery.
The toilet blocked twice during our stay, overflowing on the first occasion, but was sorted at once on both occasions.
