1/5 LA E. 1 year ago on Google
I
booked
this
via
google
ads.
I
thought
I
was
booking
an
apartment
with
all
the
facilities
listed
and
at
no
time
during
the
booking
process
were
the
kitchen
facilities
referred
to
as
'communal'
or
'shared'.
The
booking
confirmation
showed
a
refundable
damage
deposit
of
ยฃ200
-
something
always
associated
with
apartments.
The
check-in
procedure
was
not
outlined
on
the
confirmation
or
any
subsequent
emails
I
received
-
it
just
stated
'Check-in
Fri
01
Jul
2022
(15:00
-
23:00)'.
So
when
we
arrived
expecting
a
reception,
we
only
got
a
locked
door.
It
is
a
contact-less
entry
system,
and
you
do
not
receive
access
instructions
until
they
get
photo
ID
from
you.
I
did
not
get
either
a
text
message
or
email
request
for
this
and
this
process
is
not
outlined
on
the
booking
confirmation
or
website.
Once
we
lugged
ourselves,
our
food
and
our
cases
up
several
flights
of
extremely
narrow
and
steep
stairs*,
to
be
confronted
with
2
very
hot,
stuffy
rooms
and
a
tiny
adjoining
shower
room,
we
learned
to
our
dismay
that
we
had
no
kitchen.
There
was
no
fan
or
air-conditioning
the
only
ventilation
was
to
open
the
windows,
and
since
the
property's
location
is
between
the
cricket
ground
on
one
side
and
the
football
stadium
on
the
other
and
directly
opposite
a
24
hour
McDonalds,
it
was
extremely
noisy
all
night.
So
we
did
not
get
much
sleep.
We
found
a
communal
kitchen
through
3
heavy
fire
doors.
The
sink
was
piled
with
dirty
dishes,
the
fridge
was
full
of
badly
stored
food,
every
knife
and
plate
we
found
was
dirty/not
properly
cleaned
and
a
frypan
I
took
from
the
cupboard
was
covered
in
burnt
on
black
grime
rendering
it
unusable.
Neither
the
extractor
fan
nor
the
light
above
the
stove
worked.
Needless
to
say,
we
ended
up
eating
out
and
taking
our
food
back
home.
I
do
not
recommend
this
property
-
it
is
far
too
expensive
for
what
it
is
(ยฃ238
for
2
nights).
Book
a
room
at
a
hotel
instead,
then
for
equivalent
money
you
will
get
air
conditioning,
elevators,
quieter
rooms
and
catering
services.
