Nice modern apartment

No wardrobe to hang clothes, can opener didn't work and there was no spare to use, no iron or ironing board

The location, about 10 minutes drive from the city centre, was a very pleasant housing estate. The house faces a large green area with a play park. It was very quiet, with no noise from other neighbours. The living area was spacious, with a comfy corner sofa that was great for stretching out on. WiFi was very much appreciated.

Several details let this place down. There are 2 doors to the property. It was raining when we arrived, but the key provided in the key safe is for the door at the other side of the house from the car. I expected to find the other key on a hook inside for guests to use, but no. If only one key is to be available, it makes more sense for guests to have access to the house from the car. The main bedroom has no storage other than one modest bedside cabinet. Nowhere for clothes, other than within our cases under the bed. There is plenty of space for a chest of drawers in the alcove (shown in the photos) and another bedside cabinet (and light) would have been great. The mattress in this room is narrower than the frame (which squeaks alarmingly at every movement!) and the bedding was badly creased. The paper light shade was ripped. Again, see photos. We had only 2 towels provided, despite there being 3 of us. They smelled like they’d been put away damp. In the other bedroom, a huge bed fills almost the entire space, and again no storage except for a bedside cabinet that needed moving in order for the light flex to reach the socket. The oven and microwave worked well, and we appreciated the good-sized fridge freezer. Odd that only 2 bowls were provided. There were no side plates, which would have been very useful, and 2 of the dinner plates were badly chipped. There are bar stools for a ‘dining area’ but no breakfast bar, so nowhere for your knees! We ended up eating on our laps, which was fine but trays would be a nice touch here. In the bathroom, we had trouble turning off the hot tap. In short, we felt that this place has a ‘that’ll do’ attitude all over it. I haven’t written any of this to be mean, but simply to point out that a trip away from home should be relaxing and comfortable. I’m being realistic here, not talking luxury, but basics. It wouldn’t have taken much to make this a much better place for guests to enjoy.
