Central Mumbles Apartment, Properties By O & G, Incredible Location, Sleeps 4!

Location - but then this was misleading.

I’m not really sure where to start… Upon arrival… First impressions I thought we had arrived at a block of (without sounding stuck up) council flats. I assume some of the residents that live in some of the flats were out drinking with music playing etc… wasn’t a great first impression if I’m honest. Parking is a squeeze too but we managed. Key safe could do with a number on it considering there’s more than one. I was under the impression that it being a “seafront apartment” that it would have a sea view. The property isn’t a seafront apartment - albeit not far off, it’s not quite and there is absolutely no view as it is the ground floor. When we first walked in we were hit with a stench of damp / foisty smell. It appeared to be coming from the bedroom - upon inspection the wardrobe in there had a big hole in there that went into the ground…. It was filthy. It wouldn’t take much to just box it in and not sure why this would be left like this. It is not only unsightly but I would say a health hazard. Bedroom was very small….. and the bed!!!! OMG!!! I’ve seen previous reviews about the bed but let me tell you, it’s not just a bit hard or bumpy…. I haven’t a clue what is going on there with that but it was impossible to sleep in. We went to get the bedding for the sofa bed… this was clearly used and unclean, which I had been assured prior to the stay that the “cleaner” had said there was fresh bedding available… this is kept in the smelly wardrobe. I messaged Gemma to let her know, she gave me the code to help myself to other bedding in a storage container outside. Never asked if everything else was okay with our stay or anything. I must say…. I am only writing this review now that my held deposit has been released as that took over a week to do so- be warned. The cleanliness of the property wasn’t the best, mould in the bathroom, the bath mat to step out on was very dirty and unhygienic. There were false eyelashes found allover the floor.

The property was in a central location.

We complained about the mattress which was of a very poor quality and extremely lumpy and very uncomfortable. We were told it would be changed in due course. We both had very little sleep. The duvet and pillows were not of the highest quality and looked grubby when we had to strip the bed at the end of our stay. The sink in the bathroom was far to small and because of the large cabinet above we found it difficult to use without getting water all over the floor.

Central, had parking

A few things need maintenance/ upgrade, the tank cupboard door didn’t close and the bedroom wardrobe door was sticking. One walllight doesn’t work and what are all the wires hanging under the TV?

Great location for exploring Mumbles and The Gower Peninsula. The parking is an obvious bonus as finding a space in Mumbles is difficult. Check in instructions from the owner were clear and the apartment was clean and comfortable and close to shops and restaurants. Ideal for a couple on a short break

We had no dislikes.

Ideal location. Hosts were great and helpful. Met our needs. Flexible to our requests. Couldn't ask me!! Thank you so much and we hope to see you again!! X

Nothing.

Great to have free parking, this was a big plus - especially off road. It was close to restaurants and shops.

The walls were incredibly thin and you could hear the loud music from the other apartments. not very relaxing. The sound on the TV was poor, so it was difficult to hear about the other noises! Couldnt close the door in the bedroom because the bed is in the way! (maybe hang the door the other way?) Would be nice if there were some leaflets explaining that there were some shops and restaurants right on the doorstep - we actually found them by accident - and they were great!

Good parking facilities

Noise from neighbours talking outside above during the evening.

Location was good for Mumbles amenities, bars and shops.

Bedroom cupboards were a bit cheaply made and lacked shelves. Sink in bathroom was too small, no wide shelves for storage of toiletries, make up etc
