A lovely, spacious top-floor flat in a fairly quiet neighbourhood. Liked the place so much that I ended up staying for two years.

Never had any problems with plumbing, electricity or structure of the property, although slight mould build-up around the windows in the winter. Gas heating system was very efficient and kept the place nice and warm in the winter.

Apartment is well-lit throughout the day. Unfortunately this was occasionally an issue as no curtains/curtain rails were provided and instead the flat comes with basic blinds that do little to block out the light when you are trying to sleep (more of an issue during summer months, naturally).

Only real issue with the property is how thin the floors are – I lived alone as did my downstairs neighbour and as a result neither of us made that much noise. However, being an old, converted house, I could unfortunately hear much of what was going on downstairs e.g. talking, doors closing, even coughs and sneezes, and I don’t doubt my neighbour would have been able to hear me upstairs too. If either property had particularly loud people living there I’m sure this would significantly impact on the neighbour’s enjoyment of their flat.
