I have stayed in Air B and B accommodation all over the world and sadly this was one of the most disappointing experiences I’ve had.
Let’s start with the positives: Jahanzeb (aka Zeek) who manages the place responded swiftly and helpfully throughout my stay, it has Netflix and excellent WiFi and it was warm. I contacted Zeek to ask for what I would usually consider to be the basics, such as a bottle opener, a bread knife, a tin opener and a kettle, he promptly showed up with these items and thanked me for making ‘helpful suggestions’. He was also very helpful when I asked for a bit of local information.
The downsides include: as it’s a basement you hear every movement upstairs and at certain times of the day and night it sounds as if somebody is filing through or hammering pipes! There is also a sudden noise (at random times again day and night) of what sounds like water pressure being released. There are steps down to the front door but no exterior light. The ceiling looks like it’s about to fall down in one area of the lounge. The ‘utility’ sink was absolutely filthy and the general cleanliness of the entire place was very poor. There is an adjoining interior door to the property upstairs (which is locked.) As already mentioned basic kitchen essentials were in short supply.
The property is in a huge residential area and there is nothing much around to do in the immediate vicinity. There is a parade of shops, with a supermarket, a few minutes away.
The kitchen comprises of a couple of plastic plates, a few items of cutlery, some of which are plastic, mugs and glasses. There is a small two-ring electric hob, saucepans, frying pans, a toaster, a microwave, a coffee machine and a fridge/freezer. The small bathroom has all that you need but it is pretty basic. There is a washing machine and dryer.
I chose this place based on the reviews, unfortunately for me it fell well short of what I expected especially considering the cost.
