  • "When we arrived, the floor was swept, but sticky."

    Mens underwear were drying on the downstairs radiator. The whole house smelled of smoke, there was an inch of dust in the corners and near the beds. The downstairs bed had dirty comforter with stains and food and dead bugs. The comforter was too big to put in the wash, so I couldn't even clean it. All the dishes in the cabinet had bits of food stuck to it, the pans had old food I had to wash all the dishes we needed to use. We had to put up the rug because it was full of dirt and even shaking it out didn't help. The stairs to the upstairs looked like they hadn't been vacuumed in a very long time. The toilet was visibly dirty as well. If it had been clean, it would have been delightful, as the location was perfect- just 2 blocks from the Tescos for easy dinners, close to pub for drinks and dinner, the bakery for pastries was delicious, and super close to a fabulous park for the kids. And the price was right. I didn't want to publish this review because I suspect you just had trouble with the cleaner or whoever maintains your property. I highly recommend you send someone to inspect their work in future or hire a new cleaner as it was truly awful- especially the smell of cigarette smoke. Thanks for your attention to this! Kailey
