Pros:

I loved the location of the property

Cons:

no proper signage to see which building and apartment we were in. We arrived and it was heavily raining and we were soaked because there was no shade from carpark to front door and we initially couldn’t locate apartment and went to wrong building. Pavement and steps were slippery due to heavy rain. Could have provided direct access into buildings from the main road instead of going to rear carpark.

There were hair in our bed linen
Could have supplied more bathing soap and toilet paper.

No salt and pepper in rom, to have a kitchenet without dinner plate is poor.

It’s fine as the location is good and the rate is ok. I booked it knowing what the pros and cons.
Pros:

Because they have a toaster and a kettle, we are happy to have our own breakfast in the room.

Cons:

The stairs were a bit hard to carry suitcase to our room. I did know that there was no lift, but the staircase was outdoor with no awning. So if it rains, this will cause an issue. Eg on our departure day, we knew it was going to rain, so I organised my loading of our belongings to avoid the bad weather.

The bedding could be of better quality.
