The apartment was lovely, clean, comfortable beds every thing you need for a few days away and the views over whitby were fantastic
The amount of stairs up to the apartment was a bit of a shock wasn't expecting that many, good job we were only staying a couple of nights because I wouldn't fancy carrying a week's worth of bags up those stairs 😀
4.2
Excellent location, clean, not enough rails to hang clothes, but comfortable. Not suitable if not very mobile due to stairs,

Lovely Apartment However unfortunately it was Apartment 4 -( this apartment was on the top floor about 8 flights of stairs???) and it really wasn’t as clean as it really should have been having said that the apartment has everything you needed for a short break ! Just the stairs weren’t great and housekeeping needs a shake up 😬
Stairs and housekeeping wasn’t great ? Parking ( none for property so finding close parking free of charge a problem) especially for the cost !!!
4.2

Didn't dislike anything
4.2
Excellent central location. Well equipped with modern furniture. Nice view over river
Too many cushions! and could do with an extra table, sofa, chest in living room. Bedrooms could use some extra storage and coat hangers. Parking nearby is possible but difficult in busy periods. Reported no hairdryer on 1st night and was told Housekeeping team would sort one for the next day (and next day after that when we chased them again) but it never arrived. I wouldn’t use Host & Stay again as I object to the deposit subsequently charged for potential damage (£10 admin fee) or £25 for a measly £500 of cover
4.2
Great apartment, perfectly offering what was reflected in the description.
Superb location. Close enough to city center but far enough to be quiet.
Gorgeously designed bathroom.
Amazingly spacious bedrooms.
Very nice kitchen.
Dark staircase occasionally (sensors did not always work. Not sure if this is allowed from safety point of view)
Impractical bathroom, no room to place anything once more than one person needs to use it. Needed to put stuff on the floor.
Extremely slippery shower floor. The latter is really an issue, this is a safety risk!
Uncomfortable furniture
Narrow matrasses

Great property, fantastic location
Perfect
4.2
Light airy, nice kitchen and bathroom, bedrooms nicely presented.
Location good.
No parking
No outdoor seating
The advert stated 2 flights of stairs. There were actually 4 flights plus another up to the bedrooms!!!!! Father has COPD and angina, this was very problematic and we felt the listing was not accurately described. Father was therefore poorly and impacted our holiday.
Only 3 mugs (4 people staying)
One mug was dirty yet in the cupboard.
T pot was also dirty yet in the cupboard
Cutlery in the drawer had food residue on some items.
Microwave front was dirty with greasy finger marks.
There was a used coffee pod by the side of the coffee machine.
The bathroom on arrival had an awful smell of musty stagnant water (cloth’s or mops that have dried whilst screwed up, then used, leaving the musty smell, no window in the bathroom).
The front bedroom has two end windows with no blinds or curtains so we were woken up at 4am with the blinding sunlight.
No sockets by mirror in rear bedroom , unable to use hairdryer whilst looking at what I was doing drying my hair. Same when straightening.
Smell in the kitchen was like the sea but not in a good way, probably drains?
Sofa very uncomfortable. Green chair’s uncomfortable, dining chair rocky and unsafe.
Plastic jug in kitchen cupboard was covered in remnant foods and stained!
Black scuff marks on lounge wall, black mark on right hand inside arm of sofa.
Shower when turned on fires water across the bathroom!! This needs a screw in the shower head arm to stop the water pressure lifting the shower head upright!
4.2
Excellent location
Well maintained & exceptionally clean
Excellent service/communication from hosts via regular texts & emails.
No good if you struggle with stairs - 4-5 flights
Shower flips when you turn the water up and soaks the door & floor
Very minor issues - we had a lovely stay
4.2
Fantastic location, love the views
The house is kind of old and go up to. 4 th floor
4.2
the apartment was lovely and. clean and spacious for 4 adults . good potion for walking into Whitby .
it wasn’t east to locate as the signage on door wasn’t very big ..
when you get into the property it looks unkept as the corridor’s didn’t smell great also scruffy .
4.2
The property was really lovely, it was spacious and comfortable. The property was fully equipped and decorated and furnished to a good standard. The property afforded really good views.
We had an issue with one of the windows not closing, this was dealt with by the property maintenance within an hour of contacting them.
The property was on the top floor, which meant a lot of stairs to climb which were quite difficult to navigate especially with luggage.
4.2
Lovely apartment.
Very clean with excellent location.
The hallway/steps leading upto the apartment could do with a freshen up.
Lock on the bathroom door didn’t lock properly.
4.2
location is excellent and equally are the views ! Great having a second toilet on the bedroom floor!
The property is located over 2 floors on the 3rd floor/4th floor of the property so is no good for anyone with any mobility issues and I’m not sure this is clear in the info!
The corridors/stairs up to the property are quite damp/in need of some attention however when you get into the property it is lovely!
We were party of 4 adults however there were only 3 mugs, 3 plates and 3 knives and forks! I alerted the property management company who apologised and said they would try resolve but didn’t, hence we had to wash up constantly/share pots, not really a great experience!
the front bedroom needs some blinds as it’s very bright when the sun rises!
the shower needs to be turned on very carefully or it jumps out of its bracket and sprays the whole bathroom (and you)!
also not hooks/rails to hang any towels!
4.2
Loved the 2 double rooms and the view
Clean comfortable space for a base for a couple of nights
Only 3 cups and 1 wine glass.
Nowhere to hang towels in bathroom or wc and the locks were a bit dodgy. We worked around it, but just something for future
Entrance and stairs were a bit shabby and would be less noisy if there was better carpet, but understand this is communal space.
4.2
Really convenient location with access to all of Whitby.
Flat was really modern and cosy.
Sofa and chairs in the front room look cool but not a comfortable as they appear!
4.2
Location
Too mant steps and not enough mugs one had to use a jug
4.2
Clean
Apartment is on the 4th floor. There is no mention of this anywhere in there listing. Apartment was set up for three people not four as booked. Living room windows on the forth floor opened fully to a sheer drop. No safety feature on them and we couldn't close one of the windows. We went with elderly parents, one has dementia so we had to move furniture to block access to the faulty window. We left after one night as the four flights of stairs and the unsafe windows were to much to cope with. We rang that night and the next day to inform them. we have had no reply from Host and Stay since we left two weeks ago.
4.2
great location, clean and comfortable
shower, so powerful the shower head doesn’t stay in the holder and sprays the whole bathroom. only one wine glass and no soap in bathroom only shampoo and conditioner and no one to hang a towel
4.2
The beds were very comfy
The stairs
4.2
Great location with spectacular view of Whitby harbour and the steam train
Lots of steep narrow steps. Definitely not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.
The apartment was very clean and modern but the entrance to the building let it down as was quite grubby and smelly.
The shower needs urgent attention as the water pressure is set so high the shower head flips back and sprays water everywhere! There is nowhere to hang a towel in any of the bathrooms nor anywhere to place toiletries in the shower. This would have been helpful.
The master bedroom is the nicest space with comfy bed and beautiful views across Whitby harbour. Being able to watch the steam train coming and going directly outside our window was an absolute highlight.
The double bed in the second bedroom is two singles pushed together so there is a very uncomfortable join down the middle. A mattress topper might eliminate this problem.
4.2
The apartment is in a great location although there's no parking allocated for this property. We managed to find a free parking space just a 5 minute walk away for our whole stay and there were more available at the time.
Literally a 5 minute walk into the town to a good sized Co-op and the local shops and harbour. There are a few flights of stairs to get up to the apartment, in a narrow shared stairway but the views from the apartment make it all worth the effort! The place was pretty clean and well equipped generally.
The living room furniture was a bit uncomfortable. The bathroom had previous guest's hair on the floor behind the door.
4.2
The location was perfect. We liked the apartment.
The quilt cover on one of the beds was torn .Both toilet seats were loose .Shower bracket was broken False finger nail on the floor in sitting room .Not ours .In all everything was nice but just needed a good clean .l have been intouch with Hoist and stay and they were putting it all right
4.2
fantastic and very comfortable
everything, views, comfort, location etc
4.2
Ideally located near a grocery store, the train station, and close to lots of places to eat.
Only a 5 min walk and you are in the town centre.
Lovely views overlooking the harbour area.
Hooks to hang things (particularly in bathrooms / bedrooms) needed.
Waste bins in bedrooms / lounge area would be useful.
Bedrooms a little under furnished ; a wardrobe / chest of drawers would be welcomed.
4.2
Location good and near central to centre of Whitby town. Accommodation good value for money. Excellent view of Harbour. Good cooking facilities in accommodation. Quiet area.
Accommodation on top floor of property, if you have mobility problems would struggle to access accommodation. Maybe owners to consider letting pets stay at accommodation.
4.2
location and spectacular views other properties
i believe would not provide
The w.c. seats were very loose and my 4 year old kept
nipping her fingers when the seat slid to one side and
the sensor for the top floor lights don’t work when your
coming downstairs, minor faults that I believe will be
easily fixed
4.2
The location for the centre of Whitby was perfect & had the most amazing views.
That we wasn’t aware you couldn’t park outside the apartment. We had to drive half a mile away to find somewhere that didn’t require a permit or to pay. Luckily we bumped into some locals ( before we saw the sign) as we pulled up & told us we can’t park there or we would get a fine 😬.
4.2
everything it’s modern spacious and very clean.
the sofa wasn’t that comfy
