Very nice property tv in nearly every room great

Full of home comforts large rooms and a cinema room

The house overall is great, spacious and comfortable. The hot tub was a lovely feature. Nice to have a garden to sit out in when the sun shone with decent furniture to sit on. The kitchen was generally well-equipped. Useful instructions around the house for how to leave the property, what to do with linens, rubbish, etc. Lovely park opposite and free on-street parking outside. Easy to get into the city using taxis - about £10 for a one-way trip using UBER.

In some areas, the property is a little tired and in need of some repairs/maintenance/deep cleaning, though we understand that it cannot be kept in perfect condition when rented out to big groups on a regular basis. The electric showers were a little unreliable with most of them running cold then hot during use. The area the property is situated in is a little run-down and the attached were rather noisy overnight.

Good spaces for socialising. Good to have multiple en suite rooms. Plenty of fridges and well equipped kitchen.

A little tired in places. The front door and steps didn’t give a good first impression. Our room had no covering on top half of window so was very light early morning. Better quality mattresses would improve comfort. We had very noisy neighbours on our third night, into the early hours (3am)

It was nice to have spacious rooms, each with en-suites. The cooker, oven and one of the BBQ’s was clean and there were plenty of pots and pans for our needs (but insufficient cutlery!) The chocolates and coffee pods were lovely and much appreciated, as was the provision of plenty of dishwasher tablets. The beds were of acceptable comfort standards. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but that was down to our own good company and the ability to overlook the negative points which we address below.

On arrival, we feared it was a scam due to the awful dirty street with many filthy and smelly overflowing bins outside the property and what looked like drug addicts hanging around. The outside of the property was not any better as the front steps and door are in dire need of a good coat of paint. There were cob webs and dried leaves all around the door and weeds coming up all over the drive. Inside, we were immediately faced with a damp odour, but on the surface it looked clean enough. Actually however, most of the skirting boards were very dusty as were all the lids of the small bathroom bins. The pillows were either very old or very cheap & there was only one flat lumpy pillow per person, the pillow cases were not even matching! There are curtain hooks missing from some curtains, broken spindles on the staircase and there was even a cockroach in the hallway. At least 3 of the showers did not work properly as they went from roasting hot to freezing cold and then stopped and started intermittently. The shower heads were black and mouldy, there were no shower mats, so they were slippy and dangerous and there was only one toilet roll provided per bathroom with no spares. The description of the property said it was a quiet residential area, we did not find this to be true as there were a number of people hanging around who were very clearly on drugs, we witnessed one drug deal and 3 skirmishes just nearby to the property, there is an adult learning facility on one side of the property and on the other, there are a number of people living there speaking different languages and we guessed that it is either an HMO or filled with refugees, all of whom were shouting and screaming from midnight until after 3am with ALL of the windows wide open.
