Wonderful Place to Stay - But Be Prepared
Alban House is a great place to stay. We spent 13 nights here and were very happy with our stay. Alban House is located about a 5 minute walk to restaurants & shopping. It is about a15-20 minute walk to the train station, & there is a bus stop right in front of the building. There is also a parking spot reserved for the apartment you stay in. Very convenient.
When I entered our one-bedroom the suite I discovered a complimentary bottle of wine with a note saying that the dishwasher was broken & hoped that this was compensation (the dishwasher was later replaced during our stay) for the inconvenience.
The apartment is modern. The kitchen included an old microwave, but a nice induction stove, an oven and a large fridge. There was also a combo washer/dryer which was appreciated. The kitchen is stocked with a good supply of dishes, cutlery, pots & pans, etc.
The apartment was clean, neat & orderly. Communication with the owner was very good.
You do however need to be prepared for:
1. There are no toiletries provided - you need to bring your own shampoo, soap, etc.
2. There were only 2 rolls of toilet paper & if you need more than that for your stay, you need to purchase them yourselves.
3. No coffee or tea or bottled water is provided.
4. The 2 televisions are small & don't work well.
5. There is housekeeping once a week.
6. Washpods for the dishwasher & washing machine were very limited.
Despite the things I have mentioned we would gladly stay here again.
