Prior to arrival, I had asked for details of the location and the key safe as it was unclear on Google Street View and even less clear when we arrived. The response from “Charlie” was not to worry but a map link would be sent. As the link to Google Street View had previously been sent with the arrival information, this wasn’t what I needed and incidentally, a map link wasn’t sent anyway. Ironically, when we eventually got into the flat, the QR code link inside the flat provided the information and a photo of the key safe location. For other guests, you might wish to make this clear with the arrival instructions.The Flat is in a good location and the car park across the pedestrian bridge was convenient. The accommodation was satisfactory but some improvements to the maintenance need to be made and a rethink of the cramped kitchen might be beneficial, particularly whilst work is ongoing to the flat below. Also, provision for hanging towels and a larger basin would be helpful in the shower room. The biggest problem with this Flat is the adjacent pub (The Pheasant), which has loud music until after midnight and Karaoke on Saturday. With loudspeakers on the outside decking of the pub adjacent to 26c New Street, guests must be prepared for sleepless nights.The booking process through VRBO was easy and the responses we had were quick but just lacked some thought.Overall, disappointed by the accommodation but not by all that Worcester has to offer.
