The property was quite dirty with the crockery, floors (including the balcony) shower room requiring a deep clean. The balcony drain was blocked (unblocked by us). We hoovered the whole apartment and emptied the vacuum which hadn't been emptied for some time. We then used a bleach/hot water mixture to totally mop the balcony and apartment.
We cleaned the outside table and chairs which were disgusting. We also laundered the covers which were as bad.
The glass in the shower and the tray required a number of washes to remove a build up of detritus.
The wash room sink drain was leaking but repaired when I reported it.
The kitchen sink would not hold the water in and had to be topped up when doing any washing.
One set of towels and bedding supplied. When I enquired about another set and weekly cleaning, I was told "this is not a hotel" there is a washing machine and laundries nearby.
Due to the weather we did not always get washing dry on the airer and fortunately due to the heated towel rail in the shower room we were able to finish drying. The heated towel rail would not work off its nearest plug, and I had to use an extension lead from another point.
The top of the wardrobe was very damp, which got worse during our stay, probably due to the rain we had, and I had to mop the top shelf constantly.
Storage was limited due to most cupboards full of nothing in particular.
The bedding was questionable as it didn't look clean on arrival and we washed it as soon as we could. The duvet was far too small for a double bed.
There was damp from the next door apartment near the inner side of the bed.
The apartment opposite had noisy children there and we had noise early morning 7 days a week, using the corridor as a playground and the adjoining apartment 206 came and went at all times of the day and night, very noisily.
Last but not least, despite the evidence of traps and us putting more down we had cockroaches which we killed and disposed of.
Staying for 28 days we expected a lot better. Very poor, cannot recommend.
