We stay here before, great location.
Someone just left the keys to us when we arrived, the place was unclean when we got there.
There was a burn mark about the size of my hand on the wooden floor when we arrived, I think it was left by the last tenant.
Rubbish still in the bin, we had to tidy up the place.

Absolutely nothing in truth. The only half decent thing is the location that it's by the sea front.
We stayed here three nights.. you have to I quote "bash the lockbox" to get the key out as it gets stuck. The overwhelming smell of damp when you walk in. The radiators weren't on and nothing to turn them on. They provided plug in heaters but they only worked with WiFi on.. the WiFi doesn't reach the bedroom so we had to sleep in coats our first and second night! Even after complaining for two days they only sent someone out on our last night to sort out the heating and provided us with patio heaters that if my children got their fingers in they'd have burnt them off! Water coming through the ceiling from the house upstairs, the damp is coming from the bathroom and to our horror we had to deal with getting rid of lots of woodlice every day. I had to email or phone about something or other every single day and I am not usually a complainer. Paid £297 for the three nights and it just wasn't worth it. The trouble and grief we had to sort I don't feel like I've had a holiday at all. I have tried to escalate a complaint with them and they're now ignoring me and booking.com customer service. I wish I checked out on our first night it was absolutely horrific.

Booking.com did not send over the code for the lockbox but the host was amazing and replied to us very quickly with the code.

The apartment was very clean and tidy. Lovely toiletries provided. Very close to beach.
There was an overwhelming smell of damp on arrival. This did go once some ventilated but not a great welcome. It was quite clear on our confirmation that 4 people visiting yet sofa bed not made up and had to search for bedding which was screwed up in a drawer. This also felt damp. Sofa bed was very uncomfortable. Only 3 dining chairs when accomodating 4 people, only wine glasses and one tumbler available - not suitable for children and not enough for everyone to drink at same time! Only just enough crockery for us to eat together too. A stained grubby looking tea towel provided. WIFI shocking, even the tv kept turning off as connection dropped. No information on area but a sample book of headboard covers!!?
We have stayed in many places of a similar cost and this was by far the worst. A little more attention to the small details and the property would have rated much higher.

Location was very close to the seafront. Location was not very pretty...not the fault of anyone.
Generally all acceptable facilties.
Not a particularly great area.
The flat was ok, it was clean.
It was very warm and couldn't open bedroom window due to some coverage outside, so, it just had a slight damp aura to it. But nothing terrible.
The TV was difficult to get going...just an irritation on arrival.
Apart from the bathroom there were no mirrors anywhere which is a bit annoying when getting ready. It could do with a small coffee table.
It was an acceptable stay for 2 nights.
4.0
Comfortable bed and spacious rooms. Nice bathroom.
Floor was rather uneven, wifi didn't work well for phones and bathroom light didn't switch off. People in the above apartment were also very noisy.

Good location, well equipped kitchen, provided shower gel, shampoo and conditioner, had lots of channels/platform subscriptions on the TV.
It was the worst accommodation we've stayed at, from start to finish. Clear issues with basic hygiene and customer service.
Check in: They were supposed to send us the check-in information 24 hours ahead of our stay, but we didn't receive anything. We messaged via booking.com, emailed and called We Love Property which went straight to voicemail and the website said they are closed during weekends. We didn't receive check-in information until 2.5 hours ahead of check in, when we called Booking.com's customer service and they were able to get in touch with the host and get our check in information for us. The host then blamed Booking.com's systems and said we had called the wrong phone number even though it was the same number stated on Booking.com and their own company website.
Hygiene and upkeep: The flat is clearly having issues with damp, as the floorboards were uneven, the toilet constantly smelt of damp/toilet smells. There were lots of flies - we killed 7 in the 2 nights we stayed and there always seemed to be more coming, which makes us think they must be breeding somewhere in the flat. The place wasn't cleaned properly as there was melted cheese on the grill, dirt on some of the plates, food residue on knives and lipstick marks on one of the mugs. The mattress had a dip in the middle which wasn't great for our backs - ok for 2 nights but not really good for a longer stay. There were issues with the light switches so you couldn't turn off the bathroom light, and the lounge light also had issues.
WiFi: Very weak and our phones kept switching to 4G for better signal.
Check out: It clearly states on the Booking.com page that our check out time is 11am, but they came at 10am and insisted that it's at 10am and we should have left.

Flat was a decent size & relatively clean.
Bathroom floor was dirty with long hairs everywhere. Upstairs neighbours were very noisy & played music loud & yelled & 'stomped' about on the creaky floor both nights of my stay starting around 10pm. After eventually falling asleep I was awoken on the 1st night at 00:40 by excessive noise & yelling & also on the 2nd night at 01:54 by the same situation with yelling & swearing at each other! Absolutely terrible stay with lack of sleep affecting my experience immensely!

The property looks exactly like the photos. Very tidy and clean.
It is quite disappointing that there are some flies in the bathroom. Maybe because the bathroom is quite humid(?)
