The location

It was not clean, the sheets were not clean, there were bed bugs. No bin liners they instead put a small sainsburys bag. The main door and windows were extremely dirty felt like we were entering into an abandoned building.

The location

The double bed didn't have a very comfortable mattress, and the house wasn't clean; there was a dirty dish in the oven, a towel that smelled of guards waiting to be used, and a dirty living room window.

The apartment was in a great location.

We booked for 4 people which it probably really isn't suitable for. The sofa bed wasn't made up when we arrived. Fitted sheet was too small for sofa bed so couldn't use it. Stains on bed cover. Not very clean apartment. Was very expensive and I don't feel it was worth the money.

A cosy and comfy place to stay. Everything you need. Close to the tram, a 1 minute walk. Shops close by.

Location was great and bed was comfortable, sofa bed was decent too.

That the door opened right into the living room where the sofa bed was, the bathroom and kitchen could do with an update considering the price. Also it would be nice to have an Ariel in the TVs as so you could watch live tv.

Cozy house in a very nice position

The living room with the daybed was a little bit colder than the other rooms because of the poor isolation of the entrance door.
