The money that it costs is evidently not reinvested into the property.
The property is well located - it is about a ten minute walk from the train station, and is also close to the stadium. It is also on a street with lots of take out options and other shops which is helpful. I was able to store my luggage in a convenience store nearby when I arrived before check in, and I appreciated that a lot.
Unfortunately there are lots of problems with this property. In no particular order, they include:
- Lots of wear and tear, beyond what I would consider a reasonable degree, for instance a lot of damage to the floor, and a kitchen window that doesn't properly close. There is also a very large area of damp/mould on the wall directly across from the front door.
- Toiletries are not provided. There is hand soap and towels provided, but no shampoo or body wash. Although the shower is absolutely freezing cold and doesn't run hot no matter how long you wait for it.
- Temperature control is not ideal. There is poor air circulation so it gets very stuffy quickly, although adjusting the radiators does help a little. There is only one small kitchen window that you can open, and although there is a sign on the kitchen door inviting you to open it for some fresh air, the door was locked with no key available. (Note that there was a standing fan in the kitchen but it wasn't hot enough during my stay to necessitate it).
- You don't get much noise from the street, but the appliances in the kitchen are incredibly loud, even with the kitchen door closed.
- On top of the accommodation cost, a £100 deposit is required. This was returned promptly, but when booking accommodation on a budget, having to add an extra £100 on top of what is already costly accommodation does significantly change things for people with limited finances.
- No data protection policy was provided, which is an issue given that you do have to send a picture of your ID as well as your bank information to the property owner.

Basic but serviceable, would stay again
This was the cheapest property available at the time of booking. We only needed a bed, a shower, a kettle and wifi and all were fine for us (although it took a minute to figure out the shower! Econ & 6 worked for us). The wifi was good enough for the smart tv to stream live tv with no issues.
The host was polite, friendly and responsive, couldn't fault him.
We stayed in December and found the place was nice and warm. Access was straightforward and explained prior to arrival. Location was good, just a few minutes from the principality and there's a mini mart a few doors down, as well as a really nice shwarma place just next door.
The place is very run down and tired. Worn flooring, water damaged walls, broken windows, wobbly taps, you name it. This is reflected in the price but be prepared for this before you arrive and set expectations accordingly.
