Summary:

Two bedrooms and two bathrooms for up to six guests: a king room with its own en suite, a double room and a sofa bed for two in the lounge. You're on the first floor with a lift, and inside it's all one level, with a combined lounge, dining area and kitchen, a desk, and a washer and dryer. Walk to Ocean Village marina in about 3 minutes, the Ocean Cruise Terminal in 11 and Town Quay in 12. Dogs are welcome too.



The Space:

Sleeping

UK bed sizes: a king is similar to a US queen, and a double to a US full.

Bedroom 1: king-size bed, with an en suite shower room with a rain shower.

Bedroom 2: double bed.

Living room: sofa bed for two.

All beds are made up for arrival with cotton linen. Extra pillows, blankets and blackout blinds are provided.



Bathrooms

There are two: the en suite off the king room, which has a rain shower, and a second bathroom with a full-size bathtub. Each guest gets towels, and there's a hair dryer and starter toiletries.



Kitchen and dining

Cook at home with an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, toaster, kettle and pod coffee machine, plus cookware, plates and glasses for six. The large dining table seats everyone together.



Living room

Sofas and a 50-inch smart TV, in one open-plan room with the kitchen and dining area.



Everyday practicals

Fast Wi-Fi with a desk, laundry (washer and dryer) in the flat's utility room, an iron and board, portable fans, heating, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, a fire extinguisher and a first aid kit.



Getting in

Keys and the building fob are collected from a staffed KeyNest point in a High Street newsagent, open from 9:30 am and roughly a quarter of an hour on foot. Your code and directions come before arrival.



Travelling with children

Children and babies are welcome, and the lift and level floors make a pushchair easy. No cot or high chair is provided, so pack a travel cot for a baby.



Bringing your dog

Up to two dogs are welcome, and a pet fee applies.



Good to know

St Mary's Stadium is close by, so the streets around are busier on match days.



Guest Access:

Guests have the whole apartment. Arrive between 4 and 9 pm after collecting the keys, and check out by 10 am. No parking space comes with the apartment; there's pay and display on the street outside and a public car park under a mile away.



The Neighborhood:

Royal Crescent Road is on the edge of Ocean Village, Southampton's marina quarter. Walking times: the marina, restaurants and bars 3 minutes, Harbour Lights cinema 5, Ocean Cruise Terminal 11, Town Quay and the Isle of Wight ferries 12, St Mary's Stadium and the Bargate 16, WestQuay 19, City Cruise Terminal 24 and the Mayflower Theatre 28. Two supermarkets are within a couple of minutes. By car, the New Forest is about half an hour away.



Getting Around:

Local buses stop at the door. Southampton Central station, with direct trains to London Waterloo, is a half-hour walk or a short cab ride, and the M27 is a few minutes' drive.



Other Things to Note:

ID check and deposit: after booking, the lead guest completes a short ID check and deposit step with our partner SafeGuest. You choose either a Damage Deposit of £350 (your card is saved and nothing is taken up front; it can only be charged for a claim SafeGuest approves after check-out) or SafeGuest's No Deposit fee of £40 (a one-off fee paid to SafeGuest). If you can't use the photo ID check, message us and we'll arrange a short video call instead. Please don't send ID documents by email. Your booking is on the Blue Puffin Stays Booking Terms (Guests) and the House Rules for this home.
