King Pin Corner

The location was good for my work

Small details were forgotten like no washing up liquid in the kitchen, no towels for shower, dirty cloths left in washing machine by someone else. Bed is not too comfortable. The key box code was change the next day and I wasn’t notified, I couldn’t access the property, I had to wait for host to come and give me access the to the flat.

Neatly presented

Owners were unhelpful and unresponsive to our messages. No welcome notes or instruction booklets to operate white goods. Code supplied to gain entry was incorrect. Couldn’t get wifi (Costs foreigners too much to use an international mobile network) as there wasn’t a welcome book. Had to walk to a pub miles away to wait for responses using their wifi. There was a box for an air fryer in the kitchen, but no air fryer: it was in the unit next door. Had to engineer a way to prop the shower head up as it was loose and kept dropping down. Not a single sharp knife in the unit, couldn’t even cut bread. Next door neighbour to the west was constantly smoking an illicit substance in his back garden, so couldn’t leave the door open to let a breeze through (we stayed during summer). Had to borrow a fan from my Auntie as there was no climate control to cool the unit. There was a remote control for one, but no fan! In a nutshell, we were treated like second class citizens and weren’t interested in assisting us with anything. The owners had a lacklustre approach and only wanted the money. The unit is extremely overpriced for what you get. DON’T STAY HERE!

The property is actually quite nice, it is well presented. Although I did not receive any check in information prior to my arrival, I had to wait in the rain at 10pm at night for around 15 mins waiting for somebody to answer the phone to give me the lockbox combination. Once I gained access to the property, there was no actual key that is given, all you get is a combination lock that is shared with another flat. I did not feel secure in the property, all my expensive items had to be taken into work with me everyday. I went to watch the TV, but I couldn’t because there was no Ariel in the property at all! The final thing I’m still dealing with is getting my deposit back! A refundable deposit, in the hundreds was required, which I paid immediately. It’s now been 5 weeks and I still haven’t received any money back. I have made multiple attempts to contact the property owner to get my deposit back, and I did finally receive a response saying that they would issue the refund of the deposit, that never happened. It’s now been another 2 weeks since this was said and still no refund. I have requested again this morning that my money is sent back.

Everything was quite no noise.

No toilet paper. No sheets no towel and very limited cooking utensil. Only one pot to cook all your food in. Would have liked them to let me know to bring own linen towels etc.

Modern and stylish

Could have been better equipped. Needs the following: Somewhere to sit and eat - No table, chairs or breakfast bar so have to eat off your lap or sit on the floor! Patio furniture - no real point in having a patio if all you can do is stand there Need more kitchen equipment- oven gloves, oven dishes, tea towels Mirror Hair dryer Also need to warn guests about restricted ceiling height on mezzanine level. This place is no good for tall guests
