The toilet cistern makes a very loud shuddering noise while it refills. It must be audible in other flats in the building. The glassware is insufficient. The lock on the car parking space seems to have seized up, so it canât be actuated. It seems to me that a squirt of WD40 will probably cure it. There we are - we will be back.

A motion sensitive light would be helpful at the entrance. The apartment itself was spotless and very well located.

Parking space is essential.
