Old Town Central Apartments

The communication to get access is shocking

Flat is on a code and the code we were given didn’t work. This was sorted with an email and phone call The flat is basic but clean although there is a strange smell in the downstairs hallway. There was no hot water on the Saturday which was poor and not sorted that day so had to have a cold shower. The water was working on Sunday thankfully.

Decent value, but in a noisy part of town. Front door to the central apartment area was not locked upon arrival, and I had received the wrong code for the lock box that contained the actual apartment key - requiring a call to them to get the right number. They did answer the phone right away and forwarded the correct code. The parking was also off-site several minutes away, not sure that was clear in the description. Apartment had lots of space and some nice updates in kitchen and bath, but carpet in pretty poor stained condition in other areas, and smelled musty walking in.

Very comfortable and very spacious.

The general condition of the apartment isn’t great, the carpets are badly stained, the furniture is old and needs replacing and the kitchen wasn’t clean. The freezer had a half opened bottle of whiskey in it, the cupboard had half a loaf mouldy bread in it and the fridge was dirty. The main into the building wouldn’t unlock about 50% of the time and the public areas of the building are terrible and filthy. It wasn’t the most expensive apartment in Swindon but much better are available.
