This apartment is not as advertised. It is very dated but most of all dirty. The oven was filthy, pans still had food on them from previous guests. Toaster was rusty, carpet stained. Crumbs under the cushions of the settee. Nail clipping found in the drawer and sanitary towel under the Magnus bed together with an empty crisp packet. There is no washer dryer as advertised. The bed was very uncomfortable to the point that it’s given me backache. The owner refused to accept any responsibility and did NOTHING to address any of the issues. ![Filthy frying pan](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0E0D80561FEF7DF5E0EEFB4EC234186852B3BCAB1629552382745.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Dirty stained carpet](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1F675D4B279082280D7A0CE0A45444BE182370501629552393807.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Filthy oven racks ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B1C35ECC9CFA14D0802E1472B3DB30D5F98EF2D51629552390714.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Disgusting oven](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/28313849CF0699E68F3457A878F18D09684C0ABE1629552361042.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sharon Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew Feb 7, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Excellent facilities Excellent property.
