Various issues during stay:
- I messaged host before booking and everything was fine. After I booked the host messaged me trying to get more money from me which I declined - he never responded and made it awkward when arriving for my stay. So much so that he didn't meet us personally - probably because he was too embarrassed!
- The flat is a house that has been amateurishly turned into 2 flats
- Because of the above the floorboards are not designed to withstand footsteps and so you feel like you're making a lot of noise when walking
- Difficult to get inside the door due to there being 3 doors all at the same junction because it's not originally 2 flats
- Handrail very wobbly, does not feel secure especially when carrying a 3 year old
- Fridge was scruffy and obviously not been cleaned for months
- Sofa very uncomfortable - the wood digs into your legs when sat down
- Large mirror in the bedroom rattles and makes a loud noise, I had to put a towel underneath
- TV difficult to use and most channels in Spanish so we couldn't use it
- Noise from the street isn't too often but when people are making noise or trucks outside you can hear it clearly. Also, you can hear the TV through the walls even when not loud volume
- Beds creak horrendously and mine made a banging noise like it was going to collapse
- Pictures are outdated - the apartment is not to that standard
- The area is mainly Jewish and everything closes down for Jewish holidays so bear this in mind
- Toilet space is very small - squashed between the wall and the sink
