The flat was lovely, the bed comfortable, kitchen well equipped & the table & chairs in front of the window is perfect for eating dinner at. The only downside was the cleanliness, the kitchen worktop was really âstickyâ & there was a smear of food (?) on the surface near the sink so I had to wipe it all down with antibacterial wipes, the inside roof of the microwave was/is filthyâ¦I didnt see why we should clean it as we didnât use it or intend using it especially after seeing how mucky it was (bits of what looked like cheese/tomato etc stuck/hanging from the inside. Both sofas have big watermarks/stains on the seat cushions & there are marks/stains on the sides & back/top of the sofa, they need an good upholstery clean to get rid of all of the stains. Plus there are scuffs, marks & stains on the walls, one on the wall in the hallway near the bathroom & a few on the side wall in the bedroom near the window.

It was close to the town centre so easy to walk to the restaurants, shops and river front. We really enjoyed our stay and felt we could really relax there. Note just for the owner, not for publishing as it is a small detail: Providing washing up liquid and cloths would make a positive difference and making sure that there is hand soap by the kitchen sink (we found some in a cupboard so used that). It will just give a sense that guests have been provided with everything needed in what is otherwise a well equipped and lovely apartment.
