Palace View Apartment

Really lovely apartment. Very convenient location. Next door to an amazing café.

A few miniature shampoo/conditioner bottles along with anti bacterial spray would have been useful. Also a lamp in the main living area would have come in useful. The light was great but curtains/blinds on the kitchen window wouldve made sitting there more comfortable.

Great location, the inside of the property was spacious and well furnished

Entry to the property needs attention, particularly entrance door and decoration, as no dishwasher no teatowel to dry pots.

Fantastic location, great shower, huge lounge, big windows and high ceilings.

Maybe some leaflets and local info, and a few books/games.

Apartment was large and reasonably comfortable. Only 2 of us but plenty of room for 4 if needed. Excellent location for centre of town and we were lucky being able to park in the one public parking spot outside the front door. Heating was on when we arrived which was welcome and the whole apartment was warm.

Poorly decorated and furnished throughout. Entrance up 2 flights of steep stairs, old bare wood not carpeted. Just about OK for us (80 & 78 yrs old) but would have been very difficult if not impossible for anyone with mobility problems. I don't recall this being mentioned in the property description. Decoration unfinished in many places and old bare floorboards with poor attempt to sand/varnish. Minimal furniture and some pieces looking as though they had come from a jumble sale with no thought for appearance/function. Large wall mirror in main bedroom was standing on the floor leaning against the wall - perhaps waiting to be fixed on the wall. No wardrobe in main bedroom only a hanging rail. Hideous (a personal opinion) glass bedside tables. Bathroom refurbished and very new but poorly thought out with no cupboard units or towel rails. Only bath towels and no hand towels provided. One soap dispenser which had to suffice for washbasin and shower. Kitchen units relatively new and OK. Crockery, glasses etc were fine. Couldn't find a teapot but didn't search too hard! A little worrying that for a commercial letting property there were no fire/emergency instructions available and no apparent fire extinguisher in the kitchen. Unsure if the ceiling fire/smoke detectors were actually working as one of them appeared to have suffered some sort of heat damage previously. The only emergency escape route (from this 2nd floor property) appeared to be down the constricted steep staircase.
