N/a

Location

Stairs / steps. Creaky / broken floors. Unsecure locks No lounge

Location only.

The house was dirty, the kitchen cutlery was dirty in the drawer. The wiring is surface mounted- is that safe ? The decor is old. The bedding is worn.- Its a student house not a vacation home. The garden is unkempt. They took £10 from my deposit for my dog - even though it is a pet friendly house and a charge isn't disclosed in their advert

Super cute house in a great location

It could really do with a good cleaning.

Great location

With few little touches could be perfect, some more attention to cleanness and new bed sheets would really improve the experience of the stay

Nothing

The Accommodation King is a fraud and they have taken £250 as security deposit and are not returning

The only thing good about this place is the location

Well if you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a slum, under a slum lord, look no further. Advertised as "family friendly" when we arrived at the accommodation we discovered: The entire house absolutely REEKED with cigarette smoke smell. Its in the carpets and the curtains. We told the company and they sent the cleaner over with some plug in air freshener. It was a nice idea but didn't really get rid of the smell just kind of added another layer on top. The dishwasher had been disconnected and were told it wasn't working. OK it would be nice if you put that in the description, but OK. After buying a fridge FULL of food to last us for the 10days, the fridge in fact doesn't work either: ALL the food went bad. Over Easter. Told the management company (no access to the slum lord) based in the Philippines. The oven doesn't work: bottom oven completely broken and top oven is intermittent. Well all our food is spoiled anyway but it does mean that we have to eat out for EVERY meal. Sigh. We can still boil and fry things on the hob! Here's the kicker; when the kitchen got too smelly my husband tried to turn on the extractor fan: the entire thing fell off the wall, smashed on to the pot of boiling water and sent both flying. My 1 and 4 yr old were inches away from getting scalded. We are so angry by this point. "Go to the garden to play while I clean up kids" They come back with handfuls of broken glass! WTF the entire garden in scattered about with shards of broken glass! The one sofa has a broken leg so you can't sit on it. Here's what makes it a true turn of the century slum experience: the absolute lack of care. This REEKS of someone who bought cheap and is milking the property for all its worth, unwilling to spend ANY money on maintenance. They sent the cleaner over a few times and she and her husband tried to source a fridge for our last few days of our two week stay.

cheap for the a 4 bed entire apartment

not very clean and was a long process to be able to get the key , with extra forms and extra deposit that was not told about before , with I.D also for the forms , which was not told when making the initial booking on booking.com
