Uninhabitable. Stay far far away.

Don't come here. You're better off staying at the travelodge which is right next door but is 1/3rd of the price and actually habitable. I arrived too late in the day to find something available that evening. I left the next morning and cut my stay short after having one of the worst experiences staying in a property - and I travel a fair amount. Key highlights: 1. The property is literally a building site with scaffolding all over 2. The patio was bolted shut, scaffolding blocking the view and there is no furniture. I have pictures which show the comparison vs. the listing essentially showing that this is a bait and switch. The windows were dirty, patio floor not cleaned so the view from the room is filth and scaffolding. 3. There is no window which means no fresh air circulation. On top of which the place stinks and there's no way to air it out. 4. Toilet seat was broken, literally ripped off its hinges and therefore very uncomfortable to use. Toilet roll had 2 uses left and no spares. 5. No running hot water 6. The sofa was dirty, so were the sheets, there was dust everywhere inside and small hairs in the bathroom. Actually disgusting. 7. The bed was uncomfortable and sunken in The property is up 6 flights of stairs, no lifts. Check-in requires going to a newsagents with limited opening hours so be prepared to drag your suitcase back and forth and up the flight as there's no adjacent parking. I suspect this is not made clear on the listing intentionally to draw you in. There are a whole list of other things such as the general state of the appliances, but honestly even before we get to that the place is pretty much uninhabitable. To further matters, the property owner Host & Stay and booking.com were useless at dealing with this in real time and I was left to myself to figure out alternative accommodation for the next day, ruining half the weekend I had planned.

The property is in a state of disrepair, looks nothing like the listing. Patio is inaccessible, there is no other window or ventilation in a very small space. Scaffolding and works all over. Dust everywhere, hairs in the bathroom. It's uninhabitable. I had to leave this place early and I've had to spend a lot of time chasing chase for any sort of satisfactory response from the property or booking.com.. Update: I was offered an insultingly low amount after I spent a cumulative 5+ hours on the phone and several more on messages to both booking.com and the property. The offer didn't even make a dent in the cost of the alternative accommodation I had to sort let alone try to actually compensate me. I continue to assess my options in terms of contacting my credit card company to get any kind of result. Probably not worth escalating this to legal action but maybe an ombudsman exists? You can see an example the infuriating AI-generated template response from the property in response to this review below. This is literally all they will send to you as communication while not actually responding to anything.

Terrible cleanliness standard

Close promximity to Liverpool Lime Street station, comfortable size of of the apartment.

Cleanliness of the house left much to be desired. Kettle was rusty, washing machine was filthy and the fridge gave off a fishy smell. Boiler was also not working initially and kept showing an error code.

Lovely apartment with a gorgeous sunny patio balcony. Would recommend.

The apartment was fantastic, so clean and had a gorgeous patio area which was definitely the selling point of the flat! We had a lovely stay and the company were really responsive.

The stairs were very difficult to climb (but the flat at the top did make this worth it) however it wasn’t exactly ideal if you needed to just run out to grab something as you’d have a lot of stairs to climb! I appreciate that the company are also trying to maintain a high standard and asked for a info about our stay/a contract to be agreed and signed/a £250 deposit to be paid. As much as I can see why this was done, it did make the stay a little bit stressful as I was so petrified of getting anything broken/tarnished!

The owners request us to pick up the keys in the locker that were, at least, around to 1 mile from the apartment.

Great location

The location of apartment was great, close to amenities

Lots of stairs to climb (5 flights), needs a bit of tlc, only 3 chairs for dining table when there were 4 of us, 3 cups which was annoying when we all wanted a cuppa, place not cleaned very well.

Good

Good, quiet, clean apartment that was well located for the city. Reasonable parking nearby (paid). Good, helpful info in advance.

Collection of keys from nearby shop not that close to the apartment. Also apartment a little tricky to find initially. Big stair climb fine for us but some might struggle.

Bad

The location was nearby some nice places to visit such as the museum and limitless variety in places to eat. Unfortunately, the location is all that I can vouch for...

There is a lot to say here, so I will try and take it step by step. Upon entering the apartment, it was a very uncanny feeling. It felt as though I was intruding on somebody's living space. The windows were filthy and streaky, coffee stains were still sticky on the coffee and dining table, the curtains and WiFi box both had grime and dirt collected on them requiring me to wash my hands. Just outside the very heavy patio doors awkwardly obstructed with a pole, the not very impressive patio laid. There were weeds coming out of the wooden boards representing no care at all, and the little patio table outside HAD HALF A TWIX LEFT UNDER IT!!! It looked aged possibly from the previous guest who had stayed. Around the corner was the kitchen, the fridge had residue of food and what looked like spoilt milk stained at the bottom as well as on the floor in front of the fridge door. The microwave, although aesthetically looked clean, it had a funny smell upon opening it. Additionally, the mugs had coffee stains still fresh on them, as well as the wine glasses looked vile and murky. Around the corner once again (no doors to any of these rooms, and the corridoors are Extremely tight), was the bedroom! Now the bedroom is not where the magic happens. The bed was stiff and uncomfortable, me and my fiancée spent the first night with only a couple of hours sleep. We were restless tossing back and forth as the sorry excuse of pillows which were available for us had obviously seen their fair share of wear and tear. The cotton inside them was ripped and tatty, meaning your head felt like it was laid down on a lumpy mess. There were some spare pillows, but these absolutely stunk as they were sat in a cupboard a few feet away from the bed which contained a manky damp mop which had obviously not been used before our arrival. In addition to alllll of this, it would probably be too much to ask for a fresh linen bed sheet. There was what appeared to be blood stains on our sheets.

Dirty badly maintained in need of a refit Redecoration

it’s location that’s and how close it was to shops and attractions of Liverpool

Was not mentioned it was on the fifth floor got the impression there was only three floors It was dirty look like it never been cleaned badly maintained lot are damaged to the walls Shealyn floors door Carpets dirty rug dirty walls dirty mention the dishwasher in the description there was not one but they left dishwasher tablets don’t know what that was about outside area was filthy bags of rubbish walls roll damaged paint flaking off everywhere look more like a hostel than A penthouse apartment Gives the impression that bookings.com or not vetting/checking up the people who are letting their properties been offered £50 off the people Who look after the property for the client it’s an insult would of gone to a travel lodge or stay somewhere else but it was half term for the kids and there was vacancies anywhere in the city and it would’ve sparked it for my autistic daughter who are special-needs who look forward to the trip and the sightseeing and shopping experience of Liverpool which is a wonderful city

Brilliant location, great hosts.

Superb location if you’re coming to enjoy the Liverpool nightlife!

Room could do with a little TLC, few scuffs on wall and the door buzzer doesn’t work, or the key fob we have to use the side entrance during our stay.
