Spacious apartment, kitchen a nightmare, disingenuous listing.
The apartment is spacious, the lounge is of a useful size, the roof terrace is spacious, private and has sunshine for most of the day. In the language favoured by estate agents it is "quirky". Sometimes this is a good thing, it makes for an interesting property. In this case, the layout was certainly interesting but the kitchen appears to have been designed, if there was any design, to encourage trade for the local physiotherapists. Top tip: pack a crash helmet or two, because the low-level surround over the cooker presents an ever-present danger of a rather nasty head injury.The listing information is, to be frank, dishonest. There is not a second bathroom and the apartment lacks the additional bedroom that was listed. Also, as a native speaker of English, my understanding of the word "grounds" when applied to a property is the land that resides within the boundaries of the property. And the photo displayed of a local beauty spot does give the impression that this is part of the garden. It is not. Other grumbles: the hot water kettle was more-or-less useless (I reported this to Celia, but nothing was done about it). There is a leak from a water tank on the roof that drips onto a live electrical connection box and one of the seats on the roof terrace is not only damaged but has a number of rusty screws poking up ready to ensnare a hand, or thigh (it did and I still have the cut two weeks later).However, the location is very good and the place is clean.
