The property could be excellent but the the cleanliness and upkeep is poor. It looks like it needs decorating and some maintenance is needed. There was no cooking equipment and limited cutlery. We have enjoyed our stay but feel let down by the upkeep of the property

Disappointing
Great location, super views and that’s where it stops. Faulty bathroom light intermittently turns on and off, thick dust and cobwebs on beams, VERY limited kitchen equipment, no toilet brush, stains on carpets, rugs and sofa needs a lick of paint to cover scuffs to make it look more appealing

lovey little apartment in a great location . The lounge kitchen area was quite cool even though radiators had been on all day but it was only 3c outside . There was a fair bit of dust about on rafters etc but when we contacted host & stay they offered to rectify this immediately.
