City Chic Retreat In Birmingham

Location was great for me for work, I was able to park almost out side the property.

Downstairs resident was noisy.

Not close to shops or transport links

Well equipped kitchen for a self catering stay, owner very helpful. Nice and clean.

Parking is quite difficult being a terraced street. Only managed to park near the property once out of the 4 nights. Neighbours moved bins into the road to prevent anyone parking. The mattress probably needs replacing as you can feel every spring.

The property was large. Good size bedroom and living room.

It had the very basics (just about bare minimum) to get me by, the lady who owns it was really accommodating and checked in to see I was okay

There was very little cutlery and cooking utensils. The cleanliness wasn’t great at all! There wasn’t simple things like oven gloves and a tea towel for the kitchen and there wasn’t 1 small blunt knife to chop with. I wasn’t overly impressed if I’m honest sadly. It just about did the job.

The accommodation was very comfortable, beautifully decorated, and ideal for a short stay of two days. The host was extremely helpful and responsive, always replying to messages promptly. I didn’t experience any issues at all. He was very accommodating and always available to answer any questions I had.

I would like to highlight the cleanliness of the accommodation, which was not what I expected. There were several areas that were not properly cleaned. The room was dusty, and surfaces like mirrors and tables were not clean. Inside the drawers and tables, there were items left behind from previous guests, which had not been removed. There were even eyelashes left behind, which was quite unpleasant. The kitchen and bathroom also lacked proper cleanliness and essentials, and overall, more attention to detail is needed to ensure a consistently clean environment throughout the apartment.
