Lichfield Cathedral luxury 2 bed Apartment

Easy check in using key safe. Accommodation generally looked clean and tidy on arrival. Very good range of equipment and nice decor. Great to have a dishwasher but remember to bring some tablets for it. Fridge is very small with only one main shelf so not great for a week’s stay.Oven does need a serious clean and some small areas of mold in bathroom window and shower need attention. Nice large modern bathroom. Mattresses/beds need replacing as springs broken in smaller bedroom and there are chipboards under mattress in main bedroom.We contacted the host about the towel rail not working. Said he would come and have a look but never turned up and have now seen previous posts that it had already been reported. Also reported WiFi going off after couple of days but nothing done so couldn’t use it. A new set of chopping knives are needed as current ones are blunt and useless.There is a smart TV in main bedroom which we would swap with the living room one which isn’t smart. Great location for walking into Lichfield. Quiet area and large supermarket nearby. Good to have allocated parking for one car. In general, very pleased with our stay but the above issues need attention.

Everything was great, all utensils supplied were very good, had everything we needed, very clean and comfortable.The only one thing I can say is that the towel rail in the bathroom didn’t work so it was always cold whilst having a shower.

The flat was in a good location for shops pubs and train station. The property itself was clean tidy and well maintained.

Positives include the convenient situation of the flat and that issues, e.g. the missing towels & shower mat and blocked shower drain were quickly attended to. Overall, there are shortcomings in the description. Pleasant as it is, this flat is furnished and equipped minimally and should not be described as "luxury".The apartment looks good in the photos, but when you walk in, the shortcomings quickly become apparent: On opening the front door your are met with a steep flight of stairs, seemingly not mentioned on the website. There are no mirrors in the bedrooms; no bins in the bathroom or bedrooms; no chairs in the bedrooms. The fridge is v. small, with a tiny freezer compartment, and the door shelves not deep enough to take anything larger than a 1ltr bottle of milk.; the TV is not "smart" and the "garden" is a tiny patch of weedy white gravel. There is no visitors' book and insufficient seating for four, let alone 6. The beds are very soft, one having very prominent springs. One blind in the lounge was broken and another missing.On the plus side, the host was generally quick to respond to messages, but we found the brevity of responses unhelpful. There was confusion over the extra costings relating to "additional adults" and some very strange maths. Check-in details were very sketchy sent at 5pm the day before we were due to arrive and only after two messages and contacting VRBO.
