Review

I originally had rental agreement for apartment 9 in the same building. However about one month prior to our journey the owner contacted me and told me that apartment 9 has water leakage that needs to be repaired and offered apartment 10 instead. She also offered a £200 discount for the stay. I did not like apartment 10 but it was too late to change anything and I decided to go ahead with it.

The apartment is very old and is not in a good shape. One door was missing a door knob and it was impossible to close. All doors were very squeaky; the squeaking was so loud that if someone got up at night he/she was bound to wake the rest of us.

The bathroom is tiny and has NO place to store toiletry at all. We had to keep everything on a chair in the hallway. It had only one small towel rack, even though the apartment intends to sleep five people; we had to hang towels everywhere we could - kitchen doors, door knobs, etc.

On a positive side I have to mention that the owner was pleasant to deal with and location was great. However I would avoid staying in this apartment again, if I could.

This review is the opinion of a Slow Travel member and not of slowtrav.com.
