“So comfortable - just like home, with a great view.” Had a really great stay in this Southsea apartment - love the lounge room view. Weather wasnt good so we were inside perhaps more than usual - loved gazing at all the ferries coming and going and the passing parade on the promenade. The 4 of us were very comfortable-the apartment has everything you need. (Second couple were an unexpected addition and were easily accommodated on the pull-out sofa bed in lounge room and comfortable by all accounts.) Lots of wardrobe space in main bedroom and very comfortable bed (and nice view from here too!). Good bathroom, and everything works well in the kitchen (dishwasher, oven, washer/dryer etc) We always found parking no problem right out the front for both our cars. Great location, easy walks to lots of places of interest and also the great pubs and restaurants. Thanks Paul for all your friendly help (and the wine and flowers). We really had a wonderful stay and your apartment was perfect for a great catch up with our family - loved it.
