Central st Leonard’s Maisonette

Lovely property, but wasn’t cleaned very well, had some stains on the sofa, and a hole in one of the walls. But was lovely property.

I liked leaving.

Boiler for hot water needed constant resetting. Mold/Dirt on walls. Water damage/damp throughout property. Was not told it was under construction. Hallway/stairs were filthy, full of dirt and the paint peeling off walls.

The location! First impressions were very disappointing. It looked like a building site. Scaffolding covered the building along with dust as you would expect from cement etc. Once we opened the door and entered the building the theme continued along with the feel of being extremely run down, dirty, in disrepair and maintenance. We were shocked to see the cracks in the walls and dirty appearance of the hallway and landing that we we’re actually scared to go in. The property had no gas therefore we had only COLD water for 6 people!!! This meant that we couldn’t have a shower or just hot water wash after a long day in the sun sweating at a festival. The beds dipped in the middle. There was no toilet brush and only 1 toilet/bathroom between 6 people.

Day we left

It was very dirty (specifically; whole place smelled like dog since dog owners, kitchen covered in grease, ALL dishes/glasses/cooking utensils/cutlery poorly washed, containing food debris from previous guests), high fire hazard and for sure in violation of UK fire regulations (as no CO/smoke detectors, one narrow, long corridor to exit building so easily trapped in case of emergency, no fire extinguishers), front door look literally hanging by two screws (i.e. easy to break in, thus exacerbating overall feeling of unsafe)

Nothing

The whole place was dirty,damp and not fit to have as a holiday let.

Very nice touches in the apartment. Comfortable and clean. Everything we needed. Well stocked kitchen utensils and pans, plates etc.

Bit of a worry when you open door to main building as wall paper hanging off and very damp smelling but once you get past this and in the the apartment you forget about it...the walls have large damp stains but it is an old building. No fire safety like Blanket or cylinders incase of fire . Shelves in kitchen too high for normal height adults. Maybe a two step would help with this? But over all a nice quiet stay.
