Whilst it is true that this accommodation is not the most expensive, my husband and I were extremely disappointed with some very important aspects of the accommodation. There were several loose spindles on our staircase and with a 2 year old and a 3 year old these posed significant safety risks. Also, the apartment was filthy. We are not clean freaks, but I had to scrape dried on cereal off the kitchen chairs before our children could sit on them on the first morning. This was not very pleasant. Also, the newly refurbished shower room was pretty to look at but only allowed a cold shower, and I mean icy cold, not luke warm. We assumed there was some sort of fault with it and called the owner on our first morning for assistance and he said that was just the way it was and that if we fiddled with the pressure guage we might be able to get it a little warmer. We could not. There was no other means of washing, and it was just too cold to put the children in. We ended up having to take them elsewhere to bath them. The microwave did not work and the dishes in the kitchen were very dirty and I needed to wash everything before we used them. On the plus side the accommodation was warm and the tv worked, but over all we were extremely disappointed and ended up leaving a letter of complaint when we left, to which we have not yet had a response. Another major safety concern was that the main door did not unlock smoothly and it took us 5-10 mins each morning to wiggle the lock to open the door. This is presumably a serious fire hazzard and we were extremely uncomfortable about how difficult it was to get out and were relieved that we did not need to get out in a hurry.
