My feeling here is that this is being run and light touch as possible in terms of upkeep, probably to save money or maybe the cleaning / maintenance team are not pro-active enough which lets down an otherwise good apartment.Its a great location and great to have parking allocated in central Keswick. As other reviewers pointed out the shower is very poor. Shower wont maintain temperature, low pressure. Very frustrating. I doubt there is anything the owner can do though as suspect to building pressure is the problem and difficult to modify.The cleaners/agent need to ensure the bed sheets are in good condition/things are cleaned properly. Some of the sheets had been washed but had stains which isnt appealing. Minimal amenities in the kitchen for cooking and cleaning, Lack of bin bags. Tea Towel smelt damp and fusty. All a bit of a let down in this area although again I suspect is being run on a shoe string.However, possibly had been re-painted relatively recently which was a positive. I accept the "whats included?" list is very small so be aware to take everything you need. Including extra toilet roll, washing up clothes/tea towels/dish washer tablets etc.TV is a bit old and outdated. Suggest bring a laptop and hook up via HMDI to watch anything other than live tv. Internet / wifi was good.

We had a wonderful time, everything was great. The place was clean, a full kitchen- washer/dryer was helpful. Literally perfect location with the added bonus of a car parking space. Only downside was the lift wasnt working- my husband had to do a lot of carrying up the three flights of stairs as we had a baby with us- and quite a bit of luggage. Also the shower needs updating and wasnt very powerful. Would definitely come back as the location and views were wonderful.
