Gresham 1-bed

- **Ideal Location:** The apartment's location was perfectly suited for our needs, allowing for easy access to local attractions and amenities. - **Well-Equipped Kitchen:** The kitchen had everything we needed for our stay, making meal preparation convenient . - **Comfortable Bed:** The bed provided a good night's sleep, which was highly appreciated after long days of exploring.

- **Poor Communication with the Host:** My experience with the host's communication was far from satisfactory. **I strongly recommend** that any communication with this host be conducted through the *Booking.com messaging platform* to ensure there is a record of all interactions. All assurances given over the phone were not honored, leading to considerable inconvenience. It felt as though the primary interest was in securing my deposit and reservation fee, with little concern for my experience thereafter. Unfortunately, after 10pm, support was virtually non-existent, leaving me stranded without assistance when I needed it most. - **Inconvenient Key Collection:** Contrary to the advertised 'self check-in' process, the reality was far from seamless. The keys had to be picked up from a location unrelated to the apartment, requiring unnecessary travel and coordination. Despite claims of self check-in, I personal interaction was necessary to receive the keys, which contradicts the convenience that self check-in typically offers. - **Overpriced:** Considering the overall experience, the apartment did not offer value for money. The cost was steep, particularly when evaluating the service and amenities received in return. - **Insufficient Toiletries for the Duration of Stay:** For an eight-day visit, the provision of toiletries was inadequate. Guests should not need to worry about such basic supplies, especially in accommodations positioned at a higher price point. - **Parking Challenges:** Parking near the apartment proved to be a nightmare. Given the difficulties encountered, **I would suggest paying the extra fee** that the host charges for access to their parking facilities. This might mitigate some of the stress associated with finding suitable parking in the vicinity.

The location was perfect as everything was so close. Having an outside space to sit is a bonus.

I did find the toilet unusually low as I recently had a hip replacement which was at times difficult . Otherwise no problems .
