Minor issues with a small window requiring maintenance as well as the taps ideally being checked. Like ourselves other residents were revisiting from previous times.

The furniture is very dated and cutlery etc is cheap quality and not appealing. The dining table was really dirty and the scatter cushions were smelly and needed a good wash. There were 5 cheap plastic coat hangers but none to hang trousers. The bottom drawer of the wardrobe was broken (but there was plenty of other cupboard space. The bathroom was very dated and smelled foisty...we had to keep the heater on. The bed was really comfortable and the bedding immaculately The patio is shared with next door so absolutely no privacy if this is what you want. The kitchen window doesn't close properly and you hear every conversation outside (which means they can also hear you) It is also worth noting that towels and a hairdryer are not provided. With a bit updating it would be fabulous.
