PERFECT LOCATION ON THE STRAND. STUDIO APARTMENT WAS VERY OVERPRICED FOR WHAT WE GOT. CUTLERY AND CROCKERY WAS INSUFFICIENT FOR TWO PEOPLE. MICROWAVE NEXT TO THE SINK, VERY UNSAFE. BINS HAD NOT BEEN EMPTIED FROM PREVIOUS TENANTS. NO INFORMATION ON HOW TO USE MICROWAVE AND TV. WE WERE DESPERATE WITH ONLY TWO PROPERTIES AVAILABLE ON DAYS WE NEEDED.

The staff accused us of having a pet and charged us with no proof, only returned the money after a day when the property was inspected by a cleaner the manager of the day refused to look and didn't even apologise when we proved we had no pet.
