The location was very good. A short walk to the centre of Exeter.It was very useful to have the use of a parking space, as the property is located on a busy main road and nearby side streets, all have Resident Parking.The outside entrance to the property was very unwelcoming as the front gate was broken, there were several overgrown plants, rubbish and a general look of neglect The flat itself was at the top of the House and the smell, similar to cat pee ( and I am a cat lover) hit you and stayed with you, from the minute you entered the flat.The Host had left lots of helpful information leaflets and left a few more, the next day. We appreciated that and added a few of our own.We liked the quirkiness of the house with its ill-fitted windows and doors and many uneven floors. These are to be expected in a property of this age.The bedding and towels were clean and small toiletry packs were left with the towels.The Bathroom was disgusting. The toilet should be immediately condemned. Several times daily, we put antibacterial cleaner over the pipework behind it as the smell and waste from it was beyond awful.We always had hot water but the Bath surround itself needed serious attention.The kitchen was very dirty including the floor, worktops, appliances, inside and out We preferred to use our own tea&coffee .Being out every day helped us cope We left the flat cleaner than we found it and stripped the beds and left no rubbish. We enjoyed the areas we visited
