James
Was a bit cramped and kept banging our heads on the sloped ceiling. There was no broom to keep the place tidy and we had to buy one. Cleanliness of the property was poor such as dirty stained cups and toilet wasn't clean and toilet brush dirty and covered in hair. Bed was comfortable but the sheets didn't fit properly and kept sliding of the corners. The steps outside were very slippery when it rained. There was a big plant that we had to move aside to get past. The big armchairs were old, worn and not comfortable and and we could not cuddle up as a couple. It was confusing as to where the rubbish was disposed of and we had to take to a bin elsewhere.
