Apartment 1 Castle Lane

Despite the issues, the cleanliness of the property was quite good, it's a well-maintained flat. Additionally, having a TV with internet access was a nice touch.

I recently stayed at this Airbnb and, unfortunately, my experience was less than satisfactory. Here are a few key points from my stay: Location: The listing is quite far from the main sites. This made commuting time-consuming. Additionally, it is hard to find, and the approach road is from a small, shady alley which was quite shocking. Host Interaction: The hosts were not very helpful during my stay. When I requested some basic items like sugar and salt, I was promptly directed to a supermarket instead of being offered any. Do they expect travellers staying the weekend to buy and consequently lug around a half kilo of sugar & coffee? Having just 4 sachets of tea and a couple cubes of sugar (not even perishable items!) for a morning cuppa would have saved me so much effort and stress first thing in the morning in a new city. This is already on top of having had to carry my own body+hairwash because the host made clear they do not offer this (only after I asked them this specific question!) At slightly more than 100 GBP a night, I would say this property is not worth it. Property Concerns: Considering that the property was being rented out to a whole family, I was surprised to find that even the bathroom door lacked a lock. Do they expect us to announce entry/exit from the bathroom every time? Also, the furniture (the chairs) were poor quality, wobbly/broken and could not be used. We got the feeling the hosts want to pocket the entire fee with zero consideration for their guests. Additional Bed: I paid extra for an additional bed, expecting it to be suitable for an adult. However, the bed provided was at best fit for a child/teenager, which caused significant inconvenience.

Very clean and taken care of

Better curtains for the bedroom

Very nicely decorated and a very comfy bed. Modern and well equipped.

Location was good for us as we were at a nearby family party and only there one night but probably not great for a long stay.

Property was clean tidy

The blinds let the light in early in the morning

Freshly renovated and very comfortable beds

Need proper curtains or black out blinds. The blinds currently in the bedroom aren't suitable. Both mornings all guests were woken up at sun rise from the rooms being really bright.

Very clean and comfortable bed

No cutlery in property. No tea coffee etc.
