A bit of feedback regarding this property and why it was not appropriate for us. The kitchen was tiny, certainly not enough room for all of us to prepare lunch, make meals and wash dishes without taking hours. The fridge was certainly not large enough for all of us. The floor has been boarded up where there used to be an old set of stairs leading up into the kitchen of the property which has not been finished properly. The laundry facilities were certainly inadequate. The washing machine was in an outside shed which didn't even have a light globe. The door to the property was through a rear entrance on a dark street, into a dark backyard with no light and up a set of steel stairs. Not ideal in the rain! As for living there, it felt like a converted office or commercial property that was half done. Lights for bedrooms were connected to lights in other areas so when someone moved about during the night they had to light up someone's bedroom which was not ideal as we are shift workers. The two front bedrooms were so noisy that the guests in them didn't sleep for the 3 nights we were there, leaving them so tired it was unsafe for them to be at work if they had to endure another night of it. The fifth bed was a single bed placed in a wide passage to a toilet. There was no way we could have had another employee sleep there as others pass through during the night to use the toilet. The other toilets had showers but they were very grungy and unkept. The whole property wasn't secure - the backdoor didn't lock properly and neither did the windows making us feel unsafe and like we could not leave our belongings there.
Upon arrival we were greeted by rats throughout the property and a bin overflowing with rubbish. I was approached on 3 different occasions by neighbours expressing how unhappy they were about it. I messaged Cedric the contact person as the welcome pack said to do if the bin was full to make arrangements to clear it, which he responded to with no care or outcome. This was the last straw, we packed and left.
