4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness
This is flat 101, first floor on the street side. It was clean, bed/sofa bed were comfortable. Location was good, but see later about noise. Flat had all essentials.
However .....the stay didn't start well. Firstly, we had trouble getting through the front door. The check-in instructions were wrong. There was no gatekeepers desk etc. We found the keypad by the door but the instructions did not say the code needed to be ended with a # and had to be helped by a passer-by. We then tried to use the lift but ended up stuck in it and had to be rescued by a chef from the next door cafe and another building occupant.
The room was cold unless we had the air con/heating on most of the time. The balcony doors did not close completely and were draughty. The main problem however was the noise from the street. On Friday and Saturday the noise from the club across the road continued until 3-4am. The noise was particularly from people leaving the club. Voices were so loud it was possible to hear every word. On other days when the club was shut the noise wasn't as bad but we could still hear voices and traffic until midnight or later. There was also noise from other occupants of the building. this all meant that we had really badly disturbed sleep.
Other issues:
Broken hinge on kitchen unit door
Bolt missing from washer/dryer door
Light on stairs did not come on until you were half way down and the small top step was a problem in the dark.
