PICCADILLY Private room and bathroom

Checking-in was messy, I was waiting over an hour before I got in, despite giving my arrival time multiple times; while I tried to be understanding about it, I got very cold and annoyed by the end, and it spoiled dinner with a friend. The host is not good at responding to messages quickly and I had to call 3 times on two numbers before I got any response.
To the host: I know it's a one man show and that can't be easy, but just being on the ball to respond to messages when you're expecting guests would solve 90% of this issue.
Small nitpicks that could be improved: The bathroom was a bit messy, I didn't mind, but it just needed 5 minutes work. There was a fancy radiator in the room, but it didn't have any controls when it was turned on (a simple one with knobs would be better). There was a very intense air perfume plug, I know some people like these, but I'm one of the people who find them both nauseating and worrying because I don't know what smell they are attempting to cover up. (I unplugged it, and it was not covering a smell, so it seemed to be unnecessary). There were tea bags, but I didn't use them because they were unsealed and I didn't know how long they had been sitting there. Some well placed extension cords would go a long way.

I can't say, I booked 40 days before my stay and paid, then about 5 days before the stay (and after confirming check-in time etc) the host said someone booked the day before me and so the room was doublebooked (taking over a month to notice seems improbable) and rather than cancelling himself he told me to contact booking.com to sort it- and then ignored any email or message. Booking.com are hopefully refunding but I had to stay way out of the city as there was no availability by the time he told me to cancel (if he cancelled himself it would likely have been easier and more automatic, and doing so so late made it harder)

AVOID- unless you want last minute issues to fix

Location was great, private apartments, Gary landlord was great

None

Having nowhere to stay and paying extra to stay at another hotel..... The owner refused access as I use a walking stick, basically said I was a fire hazard and refused to communicate but happy to take my money. You should be charged for fraud and discrimination 🤬

Nothing

Everything

Adres klopt niet. Host neemt de telefoon niet op en reageert niet op sms. Dus toen last minute ander hotel geboekt.

The room is cleaned with really strong chemical,

Unorganised and late check in. Room wasn’t ready, bed sheets left on floor. Made up bed myself then realised after being in the bed the sheets were dirty. Flies coming in vent in bathroom. Couldn’t get TV to work properly. Wasn’t disclosed to us a cat was living in the apartment with us, found out on final night as it was sitting at our room door (my friend is allergic).
