    Apartment is a little tired and could do with some TLC.

    Handily located 15min walk from the train station, easy access to city centre. Clean and comfortable, perfect for a short stay on a budget. Great Chinese takeaway 5min walk away!

    Not the owners fault but got alot of noise late at night in the flat above. Girlfriend had trouble getting internet so i never bothered. Would have been nice with a tv but you get by.

    Location was good for us and we were lucky to find a parking space near the room. Nice kitchen but not sure how to operate the oven but we used microwave and oven hobs. Fridge etc. Roomy kitchen and comfy bed.

    Parking is not guaranteed on the street and it is simply the luck of the draw if you can secure a space. Extremely noisy neighbours in the upstairs flat who are assumed to be permanent residents. Clearly no sound insulation between floors. Some general maintenance is required i.e. damp in the bathroom needs addressing.

    Central location and the fact it was a flat rather than just a room was great. The heating was on a timer and kept the flat nuce and warm. The free WiFi was much appreciated.

    No TV but we should’ve checked this beforehand. In a popular area so gets quite loud on Saturday night.

    Location is very central.

    Got a bit cold, no spare blankets / couldn't adjust temperature. Noisy (minimal sound proofing from upstairs / outside).

    Good location, plenty of space. Full bathroom / kitchen / utility. Host very responsive.

    The heating went off early evening and thus it was a bit cold. Also the shower could be hotter and updated but these are 1st world problems

    Really nice, if old apartment with plenty of space

    The garden could do with cleaning up, as it would of been nice to have gone in there, the shower pressure needs improving, and a TV would be nice for the evening.

    There was everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

    The kerb appeal wasnt great,a clean up outside the front door wouldn't go amiss

    It was close to the centre,a bit dated ,but good value.couldnt read the WiFi password on the chalk board as somebody had smeared the chalk.

    Mould on bathroom ceiling, musty smell, toilet seat broken, no TV. No bedside table or light and centre light too dim to read by. Hallway bulb missing. Felt rather shabby and in need of some TLC. Maybe it's a case of you get what you pay for.

    It was convenient for the town centre, bus station and rail station. There was on road parking. The bed was fairly comfortable.

    Front door didn’t shut and lock properly, the bedroom stank of cigarette smoke, the mattress was stained and dirty and well worn. Lack of security on main door and flat door. Carpet hadn’t been hoovered food remnants on there. Not convenient to walk to Swansea town centre or home due to the location and didn’t feel safe at all so didn’t stay there.

    Very basic, lack of cabinets/drawers in bathroom, kitchen. Lots of patching up. No telly, although not advertised. Poor internet connection. No room ventilation except bathroom. Noisy residents upstairs, doors slamming, heavy footed (not the fault of the owner). Some quality items wouldn't go amiss, and cleaning up backyard area

    Pretty central albeit up a steep hill.
