Great value for money if you're happy with 'basic'
Firstly, I'm writing this review on behalf of my husband who could never be bothered to do things like writing reviews but I feel the experience he has had with the guardian scheme is worth writing about! He got a job on a 6 month 'trial' near Wellington in Somerset so he didn't want to commit to a long term rental - an Ad Hoc property provided the perfect solution, a one month rolling contract! Luckily he's not one to worry about everything being pristine and beautiful, but is definitely one to seek value for money. The building is an old care home and there were 3 different room configurations from which to choose. He chose a room with a private washroom/WC across a landing. The room itself could be described as extremely tired with paint peeling off the ceiling in a place where there had obviously been a leak previously, and needed curtains & curtain pole for the huge windows, but after a quick coat of paint & new curtains & pole (a small amount to pay, considering the amount saved on alternative available accommodation), it looked completely different. Homely, even! It's a fairly long walk to the shared kitchen facilities but you're allowed to keep a kettle and small fridge in your room so if you just want a quick cuppa or snack that's easy. Can't comment on any dealings with the maintenance side of things as that hasn't been needed so far (a month, or so) . All in all, it suits my husband's needs very well at an amazing price.
