Central House

Only one set of keys. Couldn’t use the hairdryer as the washing machine was blocking the power outlet.

Needed air conditioning - was hot at night couldn’t sleep; kitchen work space very limited wanted to move dining table nearer to kitchen to use for food prep: needed another sofa not enough soft seating for 4 adults for an evening of tv:

A few small additional extras would have had us rate this property much higher. They do need to sort the cockroach situation. Other previous reviews have mentioned the roaches and tbh I would have thought a biannual pest control could easily take care of this and the owner isn't investing in that. We were killing or removing 3 a day. The family of cockroaches is living behind the sink in the kitchen which meant they were running over the worktop daily which made us uncomfortable about using the kitchen facilities. There is a hair dryer in the bathroom but it's attached to the back of the washing machine by a short cord making it very difficult to use. I can't see why a hairdryer couldn't be provided in the bedrooms, also note to men .. hairdryers are rubbish in bathrooms because the humidity is getting to our hair. We also thought it would have been nice for a small low cost provision to have been left in the apartment. e.g. a couple of washing machine tablets, more than 1 toilet roll, handwash/soap, and maybe a couple of bottles of water. the shops are super close but I get the feeling every week guests are probably buying a lot of this stuff and leaving it. We departed on 22nd March and left a full container of washing machine tablets, wonder if there were in the apartment for the next guests? If I was a host I'd prob offer a small £10-15 provision for each guest as it would be a very much appreciated touch and not really cost much. This could even be accommodated into the price. Its annoying when you stay somewhere for a week but have to provision items that would last for much longer. This is small stuff though hence our overall review is an 8. Don't let my suggestions to the host put you off booking, you'll have a great time here.

I found the temperatures too hot, so unfortunately there is no air conditioning but there was fans available.

Just took me a while to figure out the induction hob.
