Report
Flats not what it was
Flat 2 lower saltings, not cleaned to the standard I'd expect in the current situation, hob worked sometimes leading to having to eating out more and bathroom floor giving way making it hard to stand around the toilet. Informed owner who thanked me, should have had owner around and followed up as the floor was unsafe. But on holiday and just wanted to relax. However excellent position next to beach and you can have your dog's.
