Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location

#### Minimal 

Nice property but not as good quality as expected. Quite pricey for a relatively basic property. No information pack regarding local area, restaurants, bins etc. TV doesn’t work, not all bedrooms have air conditioning. Area is quiet to traffic, but noisy dogs all hours. For info: sun only on terrace for a few hours a day.
