Building: first impression not the best as greeted by large bins and were also not initially sure about the safety as the flat is located in a council type block of flats (there are also some dodgy strip clubs a bit further up the street). However, the flat itself is very bright and clean, and the shower has good pressure and is hot! There is shampoos, hand wash, instant coffee and sugar which is all great. There is no dishwasher (although washer/dryer) and would only use the kitchen for very basic cooking but there are so many good restaurants within a short walking distance so that is not a problem. We felt a little cramped staying with two children and a dog but for a couple this is prefect. Furthermore, the host is really good.
