  : Location was good for walking into town.
  : I had several issues with the property. Firstly the shower: in order for the water to be hot we had to turn the flow down so low that it was merely a trickle. There was more water flowing out of the control box than the shower head. Why the maintenance person that came to look at it couldn't rectify that I have no idea. Suffice to say he didn't. Secondly the TV: it would not work on terrestrial channels and although somebody did also come to solve this problem they most certainly didn't. I was told to use I Player but that didn't work either. Thirdly the duvet: the property boasted a large double. Unfortunately it was covered with a small double duvet which meant we played tug of war all night. The bed also boasted a pretty blue coverlet unfortunately it was covered in some very unpleasant looking stains. Lastly: the property was on the ground floor with windows directly on to a busy street. There were shutters at the balcony doors in the lounge and only cheap roller blinds at the rest. This meant that if we didn't want to expose ourselves to all and sundry walking by we had to keep the blinds down and live in the dark.
