Brighton Unit

Our unit in Lewes Crescent is lovely. Lewes Crescent is an upmarket part of Brighton. There is a private garden which we were given a key to access and in the garden there's a secret tunnel leading down to the beach which we're told is the inspiration for the Alice in Wonderland story.

I was very happy to see a washing machine and dryer so I could do the washing. Keeping us in clean clothes is a total pain when we're on the road. But the washing machine wasn’t working for some reason. Then we realised that the floorboards in the kitchen were all squelchy and water was squishing up and it turns out there's some major plumbing problem going on and the water isn’t draining away properly and has blocked up the pipes hence the flooded floorboards in the kitchen which is on the other side of the wall from the washing machine. It has obviously been happening for a while before we arrived because of the state of the floor but my fear now is that they’ll blame us for the damage and keep our ₤250 deposit which is meant to be refunded in 10 days.
