  : Clean and unusual, cute!
  : The alleyway leading up to the entrance was disgusting, littered with cigarette stubs. Cleaning up this part would just make this property exceptional.

  : lovely building inside, comfy bed and great shower, just perfect position in town and close to railway station.
  : Small step as you come in through the front door into the building which you can easily trip down! Rubbish in backyard that could easily be swept up.

  : Very Dirty, would not recommend.

Fair
Traveller Type:
  : The actual flat was OK.
  : We arrived in the dark and there was no outside lighting with irregular path which was dangerous. The stairs leading to our flat were disgusting. They were covered with cigarette ash and looked like they had not been cleaned in weeks. The flat had a sofa bed but no sheets were provided. The kitchen had not been cleaned after the previous guests.

  : Location in the city centre.Nice kitchen.
  : The basement we rented smelled of tobacco so much that our clothes kept the smell when we unpacked back home. It was incredible, as the property made us pay a deposit and sign a draconian agreement which included, among many other prohibitions, a ban on smoking. The smell came from a kind of mailbox full of butts at the entrance door that hadn't been emptied in a long time. The access was also very dirty.The bedrooms, toilet and couch were tiny.In all the years I've been using Booking it's the first time I find such a disagreeable reservation policy. Reading the agreement made you feel like a criminal. I only accepted that conditions because it was a last minute booking and found no other option.

  : In the centre of town close to all amenities the property was set back so no noise from the traffic.It was lovely to hear the Church bells from the cathedral. We did have a couple of issues which we reported and was rectified the next day
  : The stairs up the apartment. which we managed, if someone has mobility issues they may find it difficult

Good
Traveller Type:
  : Mostly clean. Good facilities and comfy beds. Excellent location right in middle of town centre. Quiet. Well furnished. Excellent communication with agents.
  : We had a really good time apart from a few snagging points. On approach to the front door once you come through the gate it is absolutely littered with cigarette ends and empty drinks cans. We stayed in the top apartment and the carpet up the stairs to the apartment didn't look like it had been hoovered for a long time. Inside the property there was a large (what looked like blood) stain on the curtains in the main room and the fridge had not been cleaned properly, the top shelf it was littered in chocolate cake crumbs. Quite a lot of stairs so if there is mobility issues please take this into account.
