Great property which is as the description except there is no dishwasher.
The main bedroom could do with better curtains to block out the light in the morning. Also there was a strong smell of diesel in this room during the day but not at night. The property manager was notified of this and was due to visit but did not turn up nor responded to my chaser email.
The redeeming factor for this was the lovely Nikki next door who was so friendly and kind - she’s an absolute star!
