The location is fantastic.

DIRTY, in need of a great deal of maintenance, insufficient crockery (most chipped) and glassware in kitchen, parking not as described (drove round and round to find space on allocated streets not close to apartment), microwave had dinner plate instead of original glass plate, bathrooms mouldy, generally poor quality, TV not work, no WiFi password or any other info given, toilet flush button broken, extractors not work, smoke detector in kitchen removed, bedroom smelt of smoke, electricity kept tripping, rubbish in draws from previous guests, excessive condensation, noisy bedrooms due to old/badly fitted windows, single beds very uncomfortable with squeaky metal frames, needs lots of TLC

The property was, as described, central. It was right in the middle of Stratford and close to all shops, restaurants and about 75m from Shakespeare's birthplace. The host organised a parking pass so we could park in any bays that were within 0.8 miles of the property but we always got a spec within 0.2 miles which was about the minimum distance you could park. We were able to fully explore the area and also able to go back and drop off everything between shopping and visiting areas of interest so we didnt have to carry things around. We didn't use the kitchen but there was an oven and hob and a fridge freezer. There were only 2 plates we could find but most of my family had stayed at home due to our dog being unwell so it didn't really matter. There were 2 bathrooms which was really good as it meant we could both shower and get ready quickly. The apartment was really spacious with an open plan kitchen/diner/living space and 3 good sized bedrooms. There was also a sofa bed in one of the rooms and i think the sofa's in the living area could have folded flat although there were only 2 of us staying so we didnt need to use these.

Nothing that we didn't like was the hosts fault and likely couldn't have been predicted. Its more to let travellers know what to expect. We had arranged to arrive between 3 and 4pm. When we got there, the cleaner was still in the property as the previous guests had not vacated on time. She was really friendly and allowed us to leave our bags and use the toilet but we then had to go back out for an hour while she finished cleaning. The day we arrived, the road was closed to a travelling fair. That meant there were burger vans right outside with noisy generators and a greasy smell coming in as the windows had been left slightly open. We closed them but there was still a loud buzzing from the generators. We went to the theatre that evening and when we returned the fair was packed up and leaving. This meant they were rolling past the windows through the night until around 4am when the street sweeper came to clean up and down the road repeatedly. It was incredibly noisy and made it very difficult to sleep. The next night, we had expected a quieter evening, however while we were out, there was a short power cut (like off and on in less than a second). We then returned home and there was a further short power cut which then resulted in the alarms on the shops going off. As it was late at night, these continued to sound for a prolonged time and past when we wanted to go to bed. Whilst we had a great time and really enjoyed the location, its worth being aware that you are right in the centre of Stratford and to expect it to be noisy overnight.

Excellent location. Great size and layout. Very nice living room and kitchen.

Parking was not near the property and no information was given by the hosts in advance. Arrival was therefore very stressful as this had to be sorted once we got there and several journeys made to take bags from car to apartment. The apartment is in a fantastic location, but single glazing in the bedroom meant that there was a lot of noise from the road and we therefore had very disturbed sleep on both nights.

Central location, lovely property

No wifi

Location great. Size of rooms good. Close to park and ride bus drop off and pick up. Beds comfortable and showers good. Great for 2-3 nights stay

Seemed shame that some minor things brought the accommodation down- not enough mugs or glasses ( we were 5 adults ), no locks on bathrooms, tv was there but set up for private account so couldn't work out how to use, no radio. Needs investing in double glazing for the bedrooms.

Location and size was excellent

Different getting in late at night, read all instructions prior to arriving including parking location.

Just had the best stay! Amazing apartment and location. Host super helpful and easy to contact. We are a family of 3 and our 5 year old daughter loved it! 100% recommend and would definitely stay again.

The flat is in a good location.

The boiler kept tripping meaning there was no heating and only luke warm water. The flat was 13 degrees throughout. The hosts were uncontactable and still have been following the stay. Booking.com have not been helpful in rectifying this issue. The flat needs a clean and the windows are full of mould. Avoid!
