Location of property is excellent and being out of season we were very happy to have permit for central car park. Sadly we were disappointed on several counts:
- the External door could do with clean/paint which is first impression as you arrive at the property. As we entered this outer door the hallway had a pile of old post behind it and the floor etc damaged & mucky. Whilst I appreciate this is a shared entranceway it is not very welcoming.
- The rush rug in the lounge is stained and one gets a sense not really clean. Underneath the TV stand there was a pile of dust etc into the corner
- The grouting in the shower is stained and there is a lot of black mould around the sealant which is really unpleasant. This needs to be stripped back and then kept clean.
- Positively the apartment is light, spacious, linen of good quality, kitchen well stocked.
Overall the apartment feels a bit soulless. Whilst this is a matter of taste, and I prefer a minimalist approach myself, it would benefit from a little more colour and perhaps building on the Dartmouth poster in the kitchen and showcase the local area with more of that style pictures/Devon crafts/soft furnishings etc which would enhance the very neutral decor. For example where are the artificial flowers from the website photos? Large fan from above bed, as in photos, was just lying on floor.
