Striking 1 bedroom apartment

Good location

Struggled to contact the host to obtain instructions to get into the property

Good location, close to centre, food and drink amenities

The property was not clean, there was dust and debris on the floor and inside the wardrobe and drawers. Part of the tap in the bathroom missing. The plug in the sink in the bathroom didn't work so you could not fill the sink properly. The sink didn't drain properly either. The shower needed either cleaning or the pressure investigating as it was pitiful and almost unusable. The tap in the kitchen wasn't secured so, as it was used, it moved around slightly and exposed a gap into the cupboard below (where water could get into the cupboard). We were provided with one hand towel and one (small) bath towel, I had booked for 3 people! The blind in the main room was broken so it didn't close or rotate properly. We were told that the lift was broken from the night before and they were unsure if it had been repaired yet, we were told by a resident that it had been broken for 2 months! There was a mild damp smell throughout. The general decor and surfaces were marked and tired. Due to a mistake on my part we had only booked this property very recently and the options in Manchester were very limited at the time of booking, £220 for one night was a little more than I'd wanted to pay but the photos on the site and the description made it seem quite good, unfortunately it fell way below expectations, especially for the amount I paid.
