“I was generally happy with the stay, it was in a good location as advertised.”
I have only a few comments and suggestions really. I think the parking situation locally should be made clearer. Perhaps not everyone will arrive in a vehicle, but I suspect most will. It would be a good idea to make people aware of the inevitable additional cost of parking a vehicle on the street before they book. Since there is no free overnight parking anywhere close and guest passes are issued strictly to the operator of the property.

I understood before I entered the property that is was not a luxury apartment, however, a few small items felt a little lacking regardless. There were very few standard drinking glasses in the kitchen cupboards. I believe there was a single pint glass and a single other drinking glass for an apartment that sleeps four. The inside of the cupboards could have done with a bit of a wipe down with a fair few brown mug ring stains and general grime on them building up, as could one or two of the other cupboards. I don't think there was a sieve, or I couldn't find one. Perhaps a quick review of basic utensil inventory would be useful right now.
Another issue was the bathroom door, which has frosted glass. Unfortunately, if you happen to be in the bathroom with the light on, it is rather easy for anyone to see exactly what is happening inside the bathroom when walking past down the corridor. I had to hang a towel over the door to improve the privacy situation. It could easily be solved by a solid door or even just fitting a blind inside.
My final note was the Wifi. The range is extremely poor. You could not get a good signal if you moved more than 3-4 metres away from the living area. It is very poor in the kitchen, the nearest bedroom and non existent in the furthest one. I think the issue is that the router is probably locked inside a cupboard opposite the bathroom. This is to stop anyone messing with it perhaps, but this isn't a usual situation in most properties I have stayed in. Being inside that solid cupboard must heavily restrict the signal's range and impacts the speed as you move away.
I was overall fairly satisfied with my stay and felt that these minor issues could be easily sorted and future guests would have an improved stay. Thanks for your hospitality.
