Cons:

Sink in bathroom was broken, walls and skirting boards dirty with hand prints and what looked like blood, and a bug squashed above the front door.

Almost functional, almost...
Pros:

It was at least close to M&S food and a small sainsbury.

Cons:

There was no TV remote. So the TV didn't work. Even if they promised to remedy the situation, they didn't.
The matress was truly awful and really needs to be replaced ASAP!!
Don't forget to check your email for the lock box number. I didn't which resulted in numerous unanswered frantic phone calls which was
A:my fault
B:infuriating
C:copious amounts of unrepeatable bad language!
There was only 1 teeny tiny window.

My stay was short as I didnt even stay in the property one night due to how poor it was.
Pros:

There was nothing likeable about this place, the minute I walked in I knew I would not be sleeping there.

Cons:

As soon as I walked into the property, immediately I felt unsafe where I was. The smell of weed was everywhere in the building, rubbish bags were scattered all over and clothes/shoes as well. When you walked through the building you accessed the property via fire exit stair case which made the experience worse. When I walked into the property it was roasting hot with the windows not properly opening. There was marks all over the floor and the bathroom was tiny. The room did not look like how it was described on the booking at all. I will most definitely not be staying here again and will not recommend to anyone.

Nice little Studio in a great location. Hosts need some work on communication
Pros:

Studio was spacious and and the bed was comfy.

Cons:

There was no cleaning equipment in the studio like was stated on the message, also there was no cooking equipment for the 2 ring hob no mugs for something to drink and no response from the hosts to rectify this or the fact that the heater was showing an error.

‚Customer service’ nonexistent, dirty place, broken tv and forget about having someone come fix any issues you may have
Pros:

Great location, near city centre and many shops.

Cons:

When we arrived the adequate amenities weren’t provided- one fork and towel between two people, even after requesting spares multiple times we were never contacted or given what we needed. The TV remote is broken, we bought new batteries for it and it still didn’t work- this also wasn’t resolved after multiple attempts to contact property owners. There was zero customer service other than the AI lady who kept telling me I would hear from someone about my issues(which clearly never happened) and at some point we just gave up. Door got stuck at one point and we needed help from other residents to get in, because obviously no staff would’ve helped- not to mention the number they provide to call if you have any issues does not work and calls won’t go through to it. Dishes were all dirty when we arrived and I highly doubt the room had been cleaned prior to our stay. No hairdryer, washer or freezer made for a difficult stay. You get what you pay for but I’d recommend going anywhere else.

Άσχημη εμπειρία
Pros:

Μόνο η τοποθεσία

Cons:

Πραγματικά καμία εξυπηρέτηση άσχημη εμπειρία μολις φτάσαμε μας έστειλαν email οτι θελουν 100 λίρες αγγλικές για τυχών ζημιές ενώ τους είχαμε πληρώσει και επειδή δεν ξέραμε και φοβόμασταν να τα στείλουμε μήπως ειναι ψεύτικο δεν τα στέλναμε και δεν μπορούσαμε να επικοινωνήσουμε με κάποιους είμαστε έξω από το διαμέρισμα σχεδόν 2 ώρες χωρίς να ερχετε κάποιος να μας εξυπηρέτηση μετά με χίλια ζόρια και που αρχίσαμε να κουράζομαστε ήρθε καποιος από το διπλανό κατάστημα και μας βοήθησε να τους βρούμε . Δεύτερο καθημερινα μοίραζε ασχημα απο τσιγάρα ή ακομη και απο χόρτο που καπνιζαν σε αλλα διαμερίσματα υπαρχουν μονο σκαλες ειναι δυσκολο για μεγαλους ανθρωπους Δεν το συστήνω για σοβαρούς ενήλικες ανθρώπους.Εχω πάει σε πολλές χώρες αλλά αυτή ήταν η χειρότερη εμπειρία της ζωής μου απρόσωποι χωρίς να μπορούν να εξυπηρετούν δεν θα το σύστηνα σε κανένα

Cheap and affordable, okay for a weekend stay but needs a new mattress asap
Pros:

Cheap and the room was exactly as pictured, very small studio, nice shower and helpful staff with detailed instructions. Towels and toiletries were also provided. The room itself was perfectly clean and warm.

Cons:

The mattress was terrible, could not move without springs popping in every direction. The hallway of the building was dirty and the stairs had a strong smell of urine that was rather off putting. The location is nice and central however the street itself is a little sketchy at night and I wouldn’t feel too comfortable as a solo female traveler so something to bear in mind.
