Double w seaview, #7, 3rd floor: Spacious apartment, comfy bed, beach view from dining area, black-out curtains, nice to watch TV from sofa. Some dust on bed frame. Kitchenette: hob not working and no pots. Microwave could do w clean, smelled of curry. Fridge brilliant, just cleaner next time pls. Staircase steep and narrow. Not for people w mobility problems. Location at busy road w traffic light, but quieter at night. Shopping and restaurants around the corner. Very close to beach and Sealife. I would stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Stayed one night, wouldn't stay again. Floor was uneven, bed was squeaky, the blind didn't reach the bottom of the window and let loads of light in. Shower was tiny and shower curtain was stained. Welcome sheet was filthy along with the bathroom floor. Lack of sound proofing. All metal detailing such as the the bathroom hooks and toilet holder were full of paint, I understand that sometimes people slip when painting but it was literally every detail that had it. Location is very central though, and check in was smooth.
