  Great location

  It seems there are more lockboxes there now than before so we had trouble finding the correct lockbox and opening it, but we eventually figured it out. We loved the location of this place. It is a nice river walk away from the train station and close walk into the town. It's also easy to get to from other areas as it's off to the side and we like that it's so large, spacious, tall ceilings and right across the street from Sainsburys. Honestly, the location can't be beat and is the best thing going for this place.

  There were some issues upon arriving worth noting. • We tried contacting the number in the book twice about the below issues and checking in and did not get a response. • There was construction happening, so it was noisy and there was scaffolding blocking the front view, we weren't made aware of this before arriving. • The front door did not have a dead bolt so it was a little unnerving sleeping at night. I'd recommending updating the door security. • Upon arriving we could smell smoke and weird smells inside, we purchased a room de-orderizer spray but it still smelled basically the whole time we were there, previous tenants were not clean so the place needs a real deep clean after tenants like that. • The place looked like it wasn't cleaned on first impression, stains on the couch for eg. We had to pick up bits of food off the counters and floors in the kitchen, we killed a cockroach on the kitchen counter on the first day which almost ended our stay right then and there and someone left the window open so we killed about 15 moths that made their way into the bedroom. After that, the bug situation was okay, but probably due to the cleanliness of the people that stayed there before us. • The shower drain was full of hair, not ours. I had to get tissue and clean the drain by grabbing it up. Upon throwing the previous peoples hair into the garbage we saw their garbage still in there, so the garbages were not emptied before we arrived, probably just an honest mistake? • The water in the shower drain did not go down, so to prevent flooding I purchased Mr. Muscle from Sainsburys and cleaned the drains for them. • The bathroom lighting is dark and makes brushing teeth or shaving impossible. It also had burnt out lights, so I got replacement bulbs and changed those to improve the lighting as well. • The throws on the couch and pillows smelled dirty. • There were cobwebs in places, and yes we understand it's an old building so it just needs a deep clean.

  Die Lage ist sehr gut. Die Unterkunft ist geräumig, schön eingerichtet und voll ausgestattet.

  Der Kühlschrank und die Dusche hätten sauberer sein können.

  More than adequate apartment

  Enough for what we needed. Everything worked. Enough was provided within the apartment.

  One of the liquid soaps were watered down too much.
