    There was everything needed to make our break successful. All kitchen appliances worked and were easy to understand. Some places we have stayed in have appliances etc that are rather technical and hard to get on with.

    Heating could have been better. No point in having a washing machine with no dryer, in my opinion. Could have been better cooking facilities. Also maybe a warning on the hot water in the shower.

    The closeness to the station. Privacy.

    Clean apartment, centrally situated but very cold in December.

    Unfortunately, not for me in the winter. What isn’t made clear is that there isn’t any central heating, just plug in electric heaters (and the one in the bedroom switches itself off after a few minutes), so the place was very cold and uninviting when I arrived late and soaking wet on a December evening. I was instructed that shoes beyond the second step weren’t allowed, but to stand on the cold kitchen floor in just my socks was like standing on ice. There was no heating at all in the kitchen so no way of changing this, and no curtains, either, even though it looks directly onto other properties? Not exactly inviting. The WiFi didn’t work and it seemed as though this was to be expected given the card of instructions giving me a DIY fix, which I tried twice to no avail. ‘Any problems, please contact us’ was an impossibility given that I had no idea how to do so, and no WiFi… All in all, not a good experience. I slept fully clothed and then left as early as possible to warm up in Costa and use their WiFi before work.

    As others have said, this property was very clean and well equipped.

    I’m sorry but there’s quite a lot. It was freezing! The heater in the living room is so small it did nothing. To keep heat in I had every door shut. However, the only fire alarm is in the landing. So if during my sleep the bedroom heater had caught fire well 🤷‍♀️ Ive slept terribly for two nights not helpful for work.The heater in the bedroom is on a timer, fine it’s economic, but waking up several times in the night shivering was not okay. The duvet is a summer duvet and there’s a thin flannel blanket. Even when on the sofa, I was under both. Petty issues: the water tank is so loud, didn’t have a shower as too cold in the flat. Bathroom needs some general maintenance - duct tape around bath? No wine glasses but like 20 mugs?! The milk/marmalade etc offered was all several months out of date, no caffeine offered but three types of decaf tea?

    Location was convenient
