The apartment generally matches the photos, but it is much more worn and poorly maintained than advertised. Sticky kitchen surfaces, worn furniture, stained carpets, holes in the walls, dirty and non-functioning extractor fans, and a general lack of upkeep made the property feel neglected rather than well maintained. The biggest disappointment was the host’s communication. When we discovered that no toilet paper had been provided, I contacted the host. I was first told they would look into the matter. After following up again, I was informed that they had “confirmed” that toilet paper is never provided at this property, even though the listing states otherwise. Mistakes happen, but providing misleading information instead of resolving a simple issue is unacceptable. I also contacted the host because the full-height window door was locked and none of the provided keys fit. We were told this would be treated as a priority and that they would look for the correct key, but we never received another response. As only two very small roof windows could be opened, the apartment became unbearably hot. The automatic entrance gate was another problem. There were no instructions explaining how to leave the property on foot, and even delivery drivers were unable to get out once inside. The entry keypad also stopped working during our stay, making access unnecessarily difficult. Overall, the apartment did not meet the standard described in the listing, and the level of customer service was particularly disappointing. I have genuinely had better stays in youth hostels, both in terms of maintenance and customer service. Considering the price, I cannot recommend this property.
My husband and I used to live in Solihull and had returned to see family and friends. Danford Court is situated in a good and quiet neighbourhood and the location was ideal for us. On first impressions the flat looked just like the photos, but then a few niggling things let it down. The central heating worked at first but then the radiators failed to heat up, despite adjusting the thermostat. The remote control for the lounge fire was missing. The kitchen tap had no hot water, only cold, which came out very slowly, and the sink plug didn’t work. Some items had to be washed in the bathroom washbasin. Thankfully the dishwasher worked well. The ceiling fans in both bathrooms did not work and were dirty. Some items which should have been available were missing - no toilet paper and no shower gel. The flat was generally clean and comfortable but the kitchen would benefit from a deeper clean. It is, however, a lovely flat and would stay again if the problems were resolved.
