Free Parking - Immaculate 1bd Flat - Salford Quays

Overpriced and not immaculate Positive: The tram stop was close by which was convenient and in walking distance to get to the city centre and surrounding area. Negative: The property was definitely NOT immaculate. Key collection and drop off was from a local shop which was on a main road with no parking. We wanted to check out super early on the Sunday and the shop did not open until 8 am so we had to wait to be able to drop the keys off We were told the allocated parking spot by the agent and when we got there a car was already parked there. A resident of the flats told us that the spot we had been told to park in did not belong to the flat we were staying in and there had been a lot of issues regarding this. I called the agent who was letting this apartment and she seemed surprised. I parked in another spot which the resident said would be ok and the agent eventually also confirmed this was fine. Overall this was a very stressful and disorganised start to the stay. When entering the apartment block itself it smelt of a rubbish tip and the flat itself smelt of wet dog. It was overwhelming and horrible. We opened all of the windows but as the apartment is on the ground floor and near a busy road and we are three females we did not feel comfortable leaving them open and it was very warm so we didn’t sleep well. The apartment was not clean to standards that are required given the description of immaculate is stated as a promotional opening description of the property. It was dirty in many places. Particularly in the bathroom which was superficially clean only and behind the toilet cistern does not look like it has ever been cleaned. The property needs a complete deep clean. The decor is tired and the finish of a shocking standard in many places. Particularly the doors and the bathroom. The agent who manages the property insists on guest signing a contract and there are fines for damages etc (which is fair enough) but there are already stains on furnishings and towels provided along with poor decor so I found this fairly cheeky.

Yes I would stay there again, now I know where to get the key from and it was a really nice flat. Positive: Location was really good, nice and clean really big rooms, brilliant internet, liked the smart tv In the living room, handy with a small child that likes watching YouTube, Negative: Not happy that we had to stay in the flat from 11.30am till after 6pm all because maintenance man come and fix the door handle for the flat, as it was broken before we arrived, so 1 full day wasted stuck in the flat, with a 4 year old not good.
