A smelly basement flat
The property named Garden View although spacious was not comfortable due to it being a basement. It is advertised as a ground floor which is a misrepresentation. The ambience was dark and cold. When we entered the property the first thing that hit us was the damp smell. It was horrendous as the smell was everywhere. As we looked around there were signs that the property may have had a flood in the past and looked like it hadn’t been lived in for a while. The tiled floors had a salty residue, which the owners had tried to cover up with rugs. Our clothes in the morning were damp and it wasn’t very nice.
The bathroom had mold on tiles and due to the dampness had lots of spiders, which didn’t go down too well with our teenage daughters. Further, the smell was worst in the bathroom as not only did they have the damp smell, they it had toilet blocked drainage smell too.
Windows had to be kept open for airing while we were there. We grin and bared it as didn’t want to ruin our holiday since we really needed a break to spend time with family. We left a day early as we just wanted to get home.
The lack of previous reviews was a warning sign we did not heed. We trusted that properties would be vetted. I don’t think this happened here. Avoid.
