Reviews
 20 Oct 2012 |
We stayed for five nights and had a great time. The apartment was outstanding in quality and cleanliness. Neerja and Joanne were very friendly and extremely accommodating on arrival and departure times and were a pleasure to deal with, we could not have asked for anything more. It makes such a difference that the owners check you in and out and no doubt leads to such a high standard of the accommodation. It's a great base for sightseeing ,shopping and eating out everything is on the doorstep.We only got the car out of the free secure parking once to go to the Isle Of Wight. I loved the fact that my husband and twenty year old could go and do the boy sightseeing and I could feel safe in the apartment watching the world go about its day and then have a potter around the shops with plenty of coffee stops! Response: It was lovely to meet you all and we really appreciate you taking the time to post a review, which is always lovely to receive. Thanks again for your kind words and we look forward to seeing you all again soon |

We stayed here for 2 nights whilst moving our daughter out of Uni accommodation. From the initial enquiry to the end of our stay the owners were very efficient and very friendly. The apartment is lovely has great views and the bonus of secure parking. Very well placed for all that Portsmouth has to offer. We will definitely stay here again. |
