We loved the fact that as a Grade 2 listed building it had it's little creaks and groans (just like us old people) The flat was well equipped with everything we needed and everything worked well { I think the kitchen tap needs tightening up as it slightly confused the missus} one tiny thing was that the carpet on the very edge of the top step riser of stairs is a bit saggy and could catch people unawares. All in all a very pleasant stay and we would use it again.

No complaints. Some traffic noise but only to expected for this central location. 10 minutes spent fixing to toggle fastener on the window behind the sofa would help a lot with noise. Double glazing would be inappropriate for this property and probably not allowed but secondary glazing may be a consideration. Do not forget the keys when you go out, you will lock yourself out.
