Vacanze Podington

I think this place has potential. It did it's job for me, somewhere to stay for a night close to Stansted Airport on a bus route that runs late I to the night as I was on a late arriving flight. Price is very reasonable to alternative accommodation, the accommodation is clean, it just needs some minor cosmetic repairs doing in the room. Perhaps an automated email could be sent to people staying the night reminding them of the check in process and how to find the accommodation, as the reception desk is not staffed.

Great view

The location was very close to the station and highly convenient. Both check-in and check-out went smoothly. However, as other guests have mentioned, the walls seemed quite thin; I could hear noises from the rooms next door, below, and above so clearly that it felt like they were in the same room. I also occasionally heard noise from what sounded like construction work on the street outside. Since I was on a business trip from far away and a quiet night's rest was essential, I might have been a bit more sensitive to it, but the noise did bother me quite a bit. On my first night, people in the room below seemed to be having a party, and the noise from the loud music and talking was terrible. That said, when I contacted the owner about this, they responded very quickly and politely despite it being after hours, resolving the issue smoothly. Lastly, I found a few strands of blonde hair tangled in the provided towels, so I decided not to use them.
