Cosy home in the heart of Southsea
Pros:

A well appointed studio apartment in a "vibrant" location from which to explore and discover the real Southsea and Portsmouth.

Cons:

There's nothing not to like. The only glitch for me was an initial minor issue with the hob/oven/microwave which was resolved.

Communication with the hosts was smooth and efficient throughout the stay; they were responsive and helpful whenever nee
Pros:

The location is quite central and very convenient in terms of transportation. There are plenty of bars, cafés, and markets nearby, and Albert Road—the main street—is an easy 10–15 minute walk. The room was generally well-equipped and comfortable. Having cooking facilities, a balcony, a mini fridge, and a dryer was excellent and made the stay much more enjoyable.

Cons:

On the downside, the bed was slightly uneven in the middle, which affected comfort a bit. The carpet was reasonably clean, but it’s not the most practical surface to use. I also expected to find slippers in the room, but I was informed that this is not part of their standard service.

Could have been better
Pros:

It was a overall nice property, everything was clean and ready for us when arriving

Cons:

When booking, we had the option to select a mid-stay clean for £0. Once we arrived, we were expecting and hoping for the cleaner to come in and tidy up. However, no one came, so we contacted the staff, who informed us that it would incur an additional charge of £40.

Our main needs during our 5-day stay were simply new towels and some toilet paper. It would have been much better if we had been informed of the £40 charge for the mid-stay clean beforehand, rather than after the fact. With only a day and a half remaining, the last-minute charge felt unnecessary and not worth it. We ended up having to use kitchen roll to dry ourselves after showers, which was quite ridiculous. It would be common sense to provide us with new fresh towels for a 5 day stay. Our towels were soaked by the second day there and we had no where to leave them for them to dry.

Having a £0 mid-stay clean option that then requires an extra payment without clear communication isn’t ideal. Aside from this issue, everything else was fine.

Impressed! Location and access good, Responsive host
Pros:

Location was great, access to the property was great. Communication with the hosts was very good, all queries and questions dealt with promptly and problems resolved quickly. The appartment was perfect for two people......but not three.

Cons:

We booked for three adults but the sofachair/bed was not suitable or comfortable for an adult. Possibly suitable for a child. Host acknowledged the mistake and quickly provided additional bedding for comfort
