The property was tired however mostly as a consequence of having been set up on low budget. Kitchen doors sagging, poor fridge, utensils, crockery, pots and pans etc All need an upgrade. The mattress needs renewing and the sofa is quite uncomfortable. Despite pointing out that the TV was almost unwatchable and a promise to renew it nothing was done. There is no car parking space. It's on the road outside the property. The family cars are all parked on the drive and very little consideration was made as to guests accessing the holiday let. The owner was surprised to see us when we turned up. We were just lucky that he was at home otherwise we would have had nowhere to stay. No communication details were left by him on the booking website. All in all it was adequate but has a long way to go to be better. The owner was surpri ##### Iain T. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Richard H. 16 May 2021 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Grubby bathroom and generally poor condition We had no prior contact from the Owner and so booked a 2 bed apartment. When I arrived it was a one bed apartment with a sofa bed in the lounge. The bathroom had a newish vanity installed but everything is boxed in cheap painted chipboard. It would cost so much to put this right. The property was generally knocked about and in need of decorating. The bathroom door, no lock, doesn’t close properly. No bowls in the kitchen, plates only, not great for cereal. The electric meter sits in the front room and clicks every few minutes. Not great when trying to sleep. The Owner seemed a nice chap but needs to invest in a bit of TLC for this property. ##### Richard H. Stayed 1 night in May 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer B. 22 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely stay in Reading We enjoyed our stay in Reading very much, the unit was comfortable and tidy, with everything we needed. ##### Jennifer B.
