If just needed a deep clean, and the accommodation would be perfect. When you first walk in, it appeared clean, but all ledges and edges were very dusty, the shower room in particular.needed a better clean. (Toothpaste marks still there from the previous occupants, the soap/shampoo dispensers were sticky and dusty, the bins in the kitchen area had clean bags in them, but when you removed these, the bins themselves had not been cleaned for a while.
