Absolutely nothing. We didn’t go into the property.
We felt unsafe and didn’t want to stay there with my kids, the advert doesn’t show the outside of the property but does show an old Tudor pub which we though was the property.
There were youths hanging around outside and drunk people walking, shouting and being aggressive. The street it’s on is also extremely run down with several pubs and commercial buildings.
I was not given the details to the property until 4 days before so there was no way of researching what the property looked like. We have tried to contact the owners but they have sent us down multiple dead ends.
I think the place is a scam and should be removed from booking.com.

The garden
My room was clean but shabby. Next to the only toilet and only bathroom in the house and the busy kitchen! Was woken at 4.30 with folk in the kitchen! Was not sure where the breakfast was as there were many personal items in the fridge and cupboards and no info to help. Washing machine going at 12 midnight! Was very disappointed!! £85 a night is far too much!

I thought the place itself was delightful. The room was very welcomingly put together and the entrance hall very attractive. The bed was comfortable too and there was ample room to place belongings.
In the morning, I did not have time to enjoy the offer of cereal or tea as I was preoccupied with having to move the car before 10.00 am as pre-notified. Wasn't sure whether the milk belonged to someone else or whether I was allowed to use it so refrained; but it was nice to have the cereal and biscuits on offer. Personally, I'm gluten intolerant but it's the offer that I respected. Because so much emphasis had been put on no food or drink in the room, which is understandable, I had made sure I ate before getting to the house in the evening. Being gluten intolerant, I normally would have bread and biscuits with me. Had I realised there were kitchen facilities available to guests, I would have taken them with me. Next time! What stressed me though was not being able to put the key back into the lock. I did try to align the numbers given in the code but for some reason it just wasn't opening. For seniors like me, it's so much easier to have the option just to leave the key in a draw in the room itself, not to have to fiddle with the numbers on a lock, especially as it needs to be done bent over a drawer. Wasn't sure where I could leave it otherwise. Luckily, it got sorted at around at around twenty to 11. 00, way before the deadline, but it's a fact that the threat or emphasis of having the deposit retained is a source of stress in itself especially when one is so careful. Other than that, it's a very pleasant house.

The first image of this rent accommodation is a image written Home on it and that perfectly explain what you expect from it. A home away from your home. I am not sure why they have not mention all the facilities available in the place. The place has a fully equipped kitchen, washing machine, drier, iron, breakfast materials, all utensils you ever need for cooking, TV in room as well as in hall, a huge sofa to lay and relax. Just perfect for any family with kids. Station is just 13 minutes walking distance. You can take a cab for £3.50 to the doorstep of the home. I take the advice from their email and have done at Sanjha and Cosmo. Both are good. The cosmo provides more of a fine dining experience whereas Sanjha is a Panjabi foodie heaven. The security of the place is state of the art. All hall and kitchen have CCTV camera which gives great comfort. My room has a small table fan and during hot nights it was very comforting. The locality is quite and does not any any disturbances during night.
I like almost everything and surely visit many time in future whenever I head towards south. Only one personal issue that I face is with the drinking water taste. It is different than my local area in northern England. A Brita filter will be a great addition to the kitchen. Another thing that I noticed that the lock in the bathroom sometime sticks and needs little force to open. If this can be fixed then it will be really helpful for young children.

The bed was comfortable, we could listen to music because the TV had YouTube music and other apps like netflix. The bathroom and toilet were clean, there was a toaster and other devices witch we could use when prepairing food.
There was plastic waste and dust under the bed, and the water pressure was low when I took showers. There wasn’t enough fork in the kitchen and the mugs and cups were dirty. There was one refrigerator and the other guests were stealing our food during the week.

Before I arrived, the proprietor had messaged me with the EXACT info I needed. The appearance of the front of the property, the exact way to enter the property (self check in) and how to enter my room.
There was a very lovely housekeeper just finishing her work who also was very helpful. The lounge was calm and relaxing, it looked clean and tidy, the house smelt clean and of fresh washing. I entered my room and it was again very fresh, with beautiful white sheets and a cool breeze coming through the slightly opened window. It was very welcoming after a long drive .
Although I didn't use the facility, there was tea,coffee sugar and cereals available,should I have wanted it.
I 100% recommend 42 to future guests and hope to use again when I'm next in the area.
One small negative....
The parking has restrictions, but I welcomed the recommendations by the proprietor to park longer in 2 roads a very small walk away. (I was able to unload my car then park safely with peace of mind)
Thank you for a wonderful stay in Southampton!!!
Just a small parking restriction but it was very easily solved.
Great accommodation!!!

Nothing springs to mind. the room was ok, met basic requirements.
This place was sadly disappointing, considering their previous reviews. Upon arrival, getting into the house was complex and stressful. We were not greeted by the hosts who were in the kitchen. I felt as if I had broken into the wrong house. the room was fine, but the bed sheet was bobbly as if it had been washed a million times, which didn't feel nice.
In the bath/shower room, there were two shower units. one we couldn't get to work and it seemed the more logical one to use. so we had two use the one on the bath. I would have asked the host how to use it, but was unable to find anyone.
Another point, we were unsure what we could and couldn't do, it was unclear if we could use the kitchen and there were signs around that added to this.
the whole experience would have been so much better if we had been greeted when we saw them (if they werent there then a welcome letter, simply explaining the rules). having been ignored and made to feel unwelcome and made us feel uncomfortable for the whole stay.
Lastly, the damage deposit wasn't refunded till a month later, despite contacting the host and being ignored.

The kettle and sink were dirty (sink had food in it), the room was adaquate for our needs. The information I was sent about parking was incorrect as the email stated we could stay until 10am when in actual fact we had to be away for 8am. The information about the nearby pub serving food was incorrect as they don't actually serve food, However there are lot's of options just around the corner.
Kitchen could sink could have been cleaner and the kettle needs to be replaced as it's full of limescale inside the spout. We could hear other guests moving around due to our room being under the stairs and between those and the kitchen/bathroom.

nice clean property
The check in method is extremely poor. first of all the key safe method is so outdated. secondly we could not find the key box because it is hidden in a fake post box. the key boxes are not marked so you have to keep trying until you find your key. we booked through booking.com but the code was meant to come from eviva but did not arrive until half hour later. I had to call someone to guide us and to make matters worse we got soaked in the rain. after entering the property we had to locate another key box hidden in a drawer for the bedroom. It might have been an exciting treasure hunt if the weather was better. one bathroom for four rooms is inadequate and in the morning it felt as though someone was cooking a full breakfast in our bedroom so I was awoken at 7am. listen I get that people want to make money and yes you reduce staff cost by having self check in. technology has moved forward and there are such easier methods now. unsafe property because it is basically a four bed house which is a daily bed sit. you do not have a clue who else is in the property and surely the property owner should insist on legitimate ID. Extremely unsafe.

The room and amenities were lovely and clean. Good sized room for the price. Felt very much like a decent hotel room. Great touch with the towels and the biscuits and free hot drinks/cereal etc.
The house was cold and the internet and television very slow.
