The location was great and the space was good

Firstly there was no hot water for the whole time we were there which meant that none of us were able to have a hot shower. We followed the instructions to make the boiler work but after several attempts this failed. Also in the open plan kitchen there was no extractor fan which meant there was a smell of cooking throughout and also on our clothes when leaving. When we arrived there was a strong smell of smoke to which we notified the owner, which was dismissed by text. Then throughout our whole stay there was a strong smell of cannabis which was clearly coming from a neighbouring apartment but was present in the flat for the whole stay. We also booked the property for 10 people for a work weekend away, only 6 of us managed to go and we got a call from the owner just after 11 for noise complaints from the neighbours. The irony is we were only playing board games with no music on and she pulled the “my neighbours child has cancer” card on us. Now I’m assuming this is true as why would you make it up, but if that’s the case why rent out your property for a weekend to 10 people and not expect noise….did she think we were a book club?? This put a dampener on the whole stay as we were conscious of noise and afraid to upset the neighbours for the rest of the stay. If noise is an issue there then large groups shouldn’t be allowed book. She also complained to me about us going in and out of the apartment which we didn’t we had the windows open to remove the smell of cannabis which in turn made us louder to the neighbours. Whilst the size of the apartment was great for us we didn’t have an enjoyable stay. Both ruined by the landlord calling us about the neighbours and the lack/no hot water for showers.

Very well presented and equipped. Beautiful rooms, especially top floor with balcony. Near the seafront, with good views.

Weeds growing from front door frame didn't give a good 1st impression, and strong smell of weed in, communal hallway and occasionally permeating apartment.
