The host was welcoming and replied quickly to any querries. The property was ideally situated for access to all St Albans has to offer, yet in a quiet back street. The furniture and decor were a little tired but functional. Unfortunately i found the property rather dusty. It could do with a really deep clean, and would benefit from the walls being repainted.

We stayed in the property numerous times, it was pet friendly when our pets were still with us. It is close to the town centre, and to pub at end of road which serves food. It is in a very quiet place despite being close to town. Parking is by permit, but we chose the option of parking in the car park in town to avoid a ticket. Communications with host, Annie very good, she always asks to let her know if we need anything during our stay.

One bedroom town house

The location is great as in the city centre. House is very dated and in need of some maintenance doing. Some cupboard doors once opened then had to be lifted and pushed over to be able to close. Lots of empty soap shampoo and mouth wash bottle In bathroom. Fridge is extremely old and discoloured freezer door falls off.plinth on kitchen unit fell on floor. Lots of junk in the property mirrors were filthy. Even the scouring sponges to do the washing up were falling apart and well used. Such a shame and definitely well over priced compared to other places I have stayed in St Albans.
