Great central location in a quiet side street with parking. Well equipped.
Shower could do with an upgrade, looks lovely but difficult to get the right temperature.

Very nice stay 2 night in a tiny ancent house.
Free parking at the end of the alley!
The floor was not very clean !
Nice but not simple to use water fittings!
6.0
Loved the quirkiness and the history
Loved everything except the very loud constant dripping noise all night (it rained a lot!) down the chimney. Our daughter couldn’t sleep as it was so loud so she came upstairs and my husband slept on the floor. Still loud upstairs. Such a shame as we loved it otherwise

Overall warm and comfortable, serving most of our needs
Strong drain smell from start to finish of our stay, in the shower room and entrance hall but permeated throughout house.
Entrance keyboard annoying (especially when it's cold and or raining/snowing) as had to keep tapping to get to work.
Need new bed pillows (the ones provided were like sleeping on a small box!).
Shower - cramped, grubby/ felt like it could have been cleaner
Lack of storage for clothes - a small chest of drawers in the bedroom is needed and there's plenty of room to have one there.
Sitting area could have had more ambient light and at least another comfortable chair.
Rain fall down chimney was extremely noisy (constant dripping of rain on plasterboard)
Despite best efforts of host, the television didn't work.

Location perfect for train station (c30-40 minutes walk) and city centre. Bed and sofa-bed comfortable. Kitchen well-stocked with utensils &c. Fire (once we got the hang of the controls!) very good - property retains warmth very well. Very quiet neighbourhood. No problems with hot water. No problems with keypad entry. Good sized table for working. Would definitely stay again if available.
Rain dripping above the fire (as mentioned by previous customer) - needed earplugs a couple of nights. No real problem for us (but needs checking?). Stairs a bit daunting - not for those with bad knees! Bathroom a bit cramped. But minor irritations and we would defiitely pick this property in future if available.

Characterful property in a great location close to the city centre. We were pleased to be able to park close by the property. The owner was friendly and very helpful.

This apartment was perfect for my stay. I was travelling for a conference and really appreciated having the extra space to work. The apartment is clean, very nicely decorated, has all the necessary equipment for cooking if you want to stay in, and I really loved having a back garden. I definitely recommend this charming little place!

It was a cute and unique place if you are looking for a different kind of experience as opposed to staying at a regular hotel room. It was quite spacious with 1.5 bathrooms and a kitchen. Unfortunately when we went it was raining so didn't get a chance to check out the little patio at the back.
Not a very practical place to stay longer than one night, especially if you are not young or able bodied. The stairs to the room were quite steep and narrow so it would be really hard to bring your suitcase up. I slept on the sofa bed and it wasn't that comfortable but was good enough for one night. My friends complained how hot the upstairs room was even at night with the fan on and the windows open. I also suggest you close the door to the living room if you are sleeping on the couch otherwise the sensor lights will turn on each time you move. And lastly while I appreciated how they had a full bathroom and a powder room, the shower was quite small and had nowhere to put your shampoo/soap other than on the floor.

One of these days someone is really going to hurt themselves on the stairs, there is no railing. Do NOT transverse the stairs at night! The bed was uncomfortable.
8.0
Location was excellent for exploring the city, and access to property and communication with host was excellent.
It was a hot time of year luckily we had a fan with us, the shower takes a bit of getting used to in order to get right temperature.

- the flooring is really old and felt dirty all of the time
- no knives for chopping and not much cooking equipment
- sofa bed was really soft and uncimfortable
- no rails on the stair case, so you have to be extra careful walking up and down
