You get what you pay for
Pros:

Good location to where we needed to get to for a gig at the students union.

On the whole, fairly speedy response when I contacted the number provided.

Cons:

- The property did not feel very welcoming.
- No member of staff to greet us.
- Luckily I messaged about parking (which was advertised on Booking.com) but we had to get a permit via the contact number. I asked for confirmation of this, but only received it from a traffic warden (there were 2 in the vicinity the whole time which made me think the area is not overly safe).
- Parking was just on the street, and as it is a residential area it is first come first served - no designated parking.
- There was no toilet paper, but I managed to find some when I looked in the kitchen.
- The shared bathroom was not overly clean, with a lot of hairs.
- No extractor fan in bathroom which made it slightly damp.
- Had to lean on shared bathroom door to ensure it was locked.
- Had 2 towels of different sizes (there were 2 of us staying and would have been good to have extra).
- It stated there was a hairdryer but I found none in the room. I messaged to ask about this but received no reply.

good, clean, well priced, no complaints aside from the filthy fridge and lack of pillows
Pros:

very clean and nice we enjoyed the stay

Cons:

everything was spotless aside from the fridge it had old and mouldy food and shelving was mouldy it was all very disgusting and unusable and really smelly so we were unable to use the fridge unfortunately and there was only one pillow each, would have been nice to have the option of two :(

Cons:

The door is a nightmare to get to unlock, the bedding was dirty, people were walking none stop in the room above us so we had no sleep whatsoever, woke up to a parking fine because the property did not supply a parking permit because ‘the systems were down’ which I have had to pay for even though free parking was specified.
