Kitchen was stocked with some pantry, always great to have this. Located very close to the middle of the town, it’s a walkable town though. Overall very spacious and airy. Very comfortable bed.

Lots of stairs to climb. Pans in the kitchen were rusty. Some area of the apartment looked like it needs some finishing. Key box was a bit finicky to use. Living room could be better lit, maybe a brighter main light and a few floor lamps. A dishwasher would have been nice.

Clean, tidy and comfortable.

Location. Cleanliness.

Traffic noise. Light coloured blinds in the bedroom so that the room was never dark.

The apartment is in a lovely spot, a close walk to the sea front. It has a well equipped kitchen and modern bathroom, plus lots of space for two people. Parking is easy either outside or on nearby side streets when busy.

The most disappointing thing about our stay were the poor levels of cleanliness. Having paid close to £400, I didn’t expect to have to clean as we checked in. When I walked into the kitchen there were toast crumbs on the side, which was a pretty obvious oversight but one I decided to overlook. However, on looking around, there were long, dark hairs in the bathroom cabinet. The lounge floor had big crumbs in the carpet (it turned out to be nut shells and even a full nut). I was surprised a cleaning company didn’t see them. Most bizarrely, when my husband pulled out a chair to sit down, there was a dirty sock from a previous occupant. All of which made me feel like I couldn’t relax fully because the flat felt grubby. The communal space is also disappointing. it’s not well cared for and, weirdly, outside the front door of the flat was just a flattened cardboard box covering the carpet. It seemed more ironic that we then received an early morning text to tell us that we had to be out by 10am or face being charged as the cleaning crew had to come in… I did send a message to Host and Stay, with photos, as I’ve never had any problems on previous stays (in fact have always been super impressed) but received nothing back.
