Birmingham Great Barr Property Near Junction 7 M6

This property was well kept and a good value for its quality

Convenient location

The shower and underneath the radiator was covered in mould. No where on this listing was it stated it was a shared housing. Therefore we were rather startled when another guest was present.

The property was easy to find and in a good location. There's plenty of off-road parking. And, for a cheap stay, it did the job.

Unfortunately, there were several issues during our stay. The property wasn’t quite up to the standard we felt was portrayed in the photos. The bathroom seemed a little dirty, with noticeable mould in the grouting and silicone. The condition of the property also felt quite well-used. There were a lot of scuff marks on the walls, and overall it had the feel of older student-style accommodation rather than what we expected from the listing. The property was very cold when we arrived at midnight, with no heating on and no clear instructions on how to operate it. This meant we had a very cold night’s sleep. The heating did come on in the morning, but by then it didn’t help with the overnight discomfort. Noise was also a challenge, though we appreciate this isn’t entirely the host’s fault. The setup of the accommodation means you share the property with another guest, and the walls and floors are quite thin. We could hear the other guest very clearly—including a phone call at 6am—and movement around their room echoed through the hard floors. Additionally, as the property is semi-detached, you can also hear the neighbours through the bedroom wall. While this isn’t directly the host’s fault, it is a reality of the building, and light sleepers may struggle without earplugs. Because of all of this combined, we unfortunately didn’t get a restful night’s sleep.

Bath space

The location was good. The bed was comfortable . The neighbour was very helpful.

We couldn't get in. No one said we had to put hand on door code to get numbers. Had to ring owner a few times but no answer. Very bad b.o. smell, but think that was the other people in the other room. Kitchen was a mess but we didn't use. Shower was blocked.. There was wee on the seat and bathroom floor. The drawers at the side of the bed were open crisp packets.and a false nail. The people in the other room came in at 2am and was very loud.
