Very clean,everything in the apartment you need.
ideally situated for the event at the university we were attending

One silly little point, the tap in the bathroom is plumbed in incorrectly H is cold C is hot.

Excellent accommodation and great location
Pros:

Really nice flat on the top floor. Great value for money. Had everything we needed including a parking space. Excellent location with just a 20 minute walk to the Quayside or city centre and 10 minute walk to the university. The host Jared contacted us to make sure everything was ok.

Cons:

I really cannot think of anything we didn’t like.
