This property was a good value. The apartment was spacious and everything functioned well. The location was close to shopping which was very nice. However it did make it a bit noisy as well.

The property was very close to the bus terminal from Heathrow and cruise port (10-15 walk), restaurants and pubs and Southampton amenities and beautiful historical sites. However the location was on a very busy street with constant traffic noise from bus routes, local car and pedestrian traffic. Bring earplugs to sleep. He host was very accommodating, for an additional price, to let us in early after an overnight flight into Heathrow.

While it’s understood properties develop over time with different owners, this was different in a negative way. The blinds in the living room are stained, one of the blinds is broken (didn’t pull down all the way) and the doors come off in the shower sometimes when you pull it open or closed. The neighbourhood was excellent though and shops are quite local. The cleaning fee feels completely unnecessary and honestly I’d love a refund because clearly the money isn’t being used to take proper care of the property and the visibly broken areas.
