Agree with previous guests comments that windows do need blinds and a coffee table would be useful. We would also suggest a lamp in lounge rather than having to put on main light. It would be good to brighten up the entrance to the flats, it felt a bit like going into a multi storey car park! Our main issue was the cleanliness, we had to buy some bleach to clean the washing up bowl and toilet which was grim. The flat could be so much better with just a few changes.
