Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gordon N. 17 Jun 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good on the surface The property flattered to deceive. Furniture and fittings were fine but soon discovered underlying problems: cupboards were not clean and crumbs found inside Mould in store cupboard , mould on ironing board making it unusable , shower smelled musty and there was stagnant water. The outside area was not cleaned and there was bird muck on the table and chairs. We were not advised that this was a basement flat and there was also limited views outside. The mould and sewer issues have been identified previously but have not been addressed. Photos are available on request!! ##### Gordon N.
