Would stay again
Pros:

Spacious and comfy, had everything I needed and there was a Co-op for supplies close by. Close to The 1865 where I was going to a gig. Entry/access instructions for my stay were very clear and the system worked well.

Cons:

Shower hose not attached to the wall which made bathing difficult, and as everything else in the apartment was in excellent condition I found that surprising. Reported it to the contact details but haven't had a response yet to say they have fixed it for the next guest, which is a shame. No instructions I could find for the heating so it was a bit hit and miss whether I got it to work. If I had been staying longer I would have enquired but it didn't matter for such a short stay.

Decent value for money, good location but the shower wasn’t great.
Pros:

The location is amazing and the bed was very comfy. Thought the self check-in was a good idea too.

Cons:

The shower needs an upgrade as the water pressure was shocking. Very hard to move in the shower as it is so small and the actual shower head was damaged. There was a strange smell of cigarettes when we arrived and it lingered the whole time we were there for. The room felt cold and the radiator didn’t work.

The property would have received a higher rating if they corrected the above mentioned pointers.
Pros:

I liked the proximity to the cruise terminal.

Cons:

The property needs to improve on the following:
1. The outside entrance needs to have the light on so we could see the numbers on the door handle to key in the code in order to open the door.
2. It needs to make the client aware that the code to enter was located right on the door handle because it was nighttime when my flight arrived and by the time I got to the property, and with no lights outside the property, it was challenging to key in the code.
3. There were a lot of leaves that accumulated in front of the entrance making us think that the property was uninhabited.
4. The property has no phone so out of town clients has no access to make phone calls for an uber or cab ride
5. There was no thermostat to adjust the temperature in the room. I was cold during the night and I couldn’t raise the heat and there were no extra blankets left in the room.

Short walk to town center and pubs! Near cruise pier.
Pros:

Nice place to stay with some stairs to upper bedrooms. No free parking, suggest car park as street parking is paid via time and if expires, the police are diligent. As this is a cruise ship port, the docks are nearby but it is a walk, suggest a car hire. City center is a short walk from the port area. This venue was clean and convenient to shopping, restaurants and pubs. Did not feel unsafe.

Cons:

Some stairs but manageable. No free parking or parking in front of the building (gated parking) (actual venue is in the back of the street front building, a separate small building).

Very comfy, excellent value.
Pros:

Comfy beds, very clean and excellent value for money. Good tv channels and a nice kitchenette. Tea, coffee and washing up liquid provided was a nice touch.

Cons:

There was no where for the shower head to attach to the wall so you had to hold it to have a shower.

A EVITER SI VOUS PARTEZ EN CROISIERE CAR VOUS DEVREZ GERER VOS BAGAGES PENDANT DES HEURES
Pros:

l'emplacement

Cons:

pas de sèche cheveux - pas de cintre ni de placard pour vêtement - lits très durs - pas de lumière sur les lits juste un plafonnier blafard - douche limitée en eau chaude - aucune solution pour laisser les bagages ... gérant peu aimable : quand je lui parle des bagages il disparait de la discussion je le rappelle 2X pour avoir comme réponse qu'on doit se débrouiller avec les restaurants voisins!!!
