    The free parking was way to far away to be convenient so we parked next door £38 a night so pricey parking

    Great location quite noisy at night but that’s the price you pay for centre location

    As both the buildings front door and the lift are key operated a second key/fob would have been useful to allow people to leave and return separately.

    Lovely apartment, well located close to the beach, lanes, shops bars, and pier.

    Make sure that if you park before collecting the key and free parking card that you go straight out and pay for the parking and redo with the parking card. Two hours cost me around £24.The windows look out on a passageway and would benefit from better double glazing. The blinds mostly cannot be opened as uncomfortable eye contact can be made with passers-by! There are some areas that look tired or where money needs to be spent. The flooring in the bathroom needs re grouting and walls need repainting. The dishwasher door does not open properly due to competing with the plinth, though still able to be partially used. All the beds are very narrow, but the sofabed is comfortable. You are given one key which can cause difficulties if people want to go out separately as the door has to be locked when going out. You also need the key to get in the main building.

    The ground floor apartment feels spacious and seemed clean. The kitchen has a dishwasher and washing machine in, along with most kitchen equipment that you would need. The living room / kitchen / dining area is a good size for 3 people. The position is very good as it's close to shops and lots of restaurants, the free parking is next door. The getaway team are very responsive and helpful at all times day and night. I couldn't see where it mentioned what to do with waste, but when I asked they told me to use the large black communal bins on Little East Street to dispose of the recycling and rubbish.

    Property was fine except it is a semi-basement with not enough natural daylight.

    However, the property is in a semi-basement with views of a brick wall and very little natural daylight. It is also by the footpath to the car-park with lots of chatter outside at all hours of the day & night. The management company were over attentive with WAY to many emails & messages - mind you probably better than not getting enough information I suppose.

    The property was comfortable, clean and well located for tourist attractions etc.

    Apartment was very hard to find, even with the video. We couldn't turn the heating down. It was at 23c, too hot. It would have been useful if there had been a manual explaining how everything works in the apartment on old fashioned paper. After a lot of calling the caretaker, we ended up just switching the heater off all together (after finding out where the box was).

    Apartment was extremely central, modern, nicely decorated, clean. Secure parking was next to the main front entrance of the building. Huge TV. Windows that open. One of the bedrooms (twin) was extra roomy. Our stay was very nice, because Brighton is just a brilliant place to be.

    How hot the apartment was. The windows can't open fully and the controls didn't change the temperature so very warm rooms. The noise level of guest returning home was loud with window open, which you didn't want to close due to how warm it was. This was also in a raining may, so I would imagine it would be worse in the summer. This is a shame as location lovely and appt clean and good size for what you need.

    location right next to the shops and 2 mins from the beach.

    Tiles are cracked in the bathroom on the floor and cut my foot. Place was covered in damp & mould. Floors hadn't looked like they'd been hoovered. Beds were uncomfortable. The parking permit was not in the building, so had to pay £38.40 additionally for parking, along with the additional £30.00 non refundable damage waiver. If it wasn't for the fact it was a non refundable booking I would have left and found somewhere else for the night. The pictures do not look anywhere near what the property looks like in person - I have plenty of pictures and videos to compare.

    Literally nothing.

    Very disappointing. In no way did it live up to the description in the marketing. AVOID!

    We arrived at the accommodation at 10pm. Eventually found the key safe, in a dark corner, close to a pile of human excrement, less than 3 feet away. The instructions were incomplete. We did not get any explaining how to access the car park. We presumed we had to take a ticket then swipe the key fob on the way out. This wasn't the case, and subsequently we had to pay £38 to park for 1 night. The accommodation was too hot and stuffy, heating controls didn’t seem to work. With windows fully opened (about 150mm max for security reasons) the noise from the loud pub next door was ridiculous. The widows open directly onto a public walkway to the car park which was also very noisy persistently throughout the night. The beds are unbelievably narrow and not fit for purpose for anyone larger than a child. These cannot be full size adult single beds and it is hard to believe they are up to spec. The place felt dirty. Various parts of the upholstery were stained, making everything feel unclean. The bathroom floor tiles were coming up from confirmed water damage. This not hygienic due to the gaps in between them. In summary, the place was not conducive to a relaxing, clean, comfortable stay. We found alternative accommodation ASAP on the Tuesday morning and moved out. We contacted My Getaways to advise of our dissatisfaction. Their delayed respond was a text on Wednesday morning. Finally spoke with My Getaways (Mark), on Thursday am and he advised we should have contacted Booking.com not themselves. He did not accept any of our concerns and has refused to issue any kind of refund for car parking or 2 nights' accommodation. With hindsight I should have done more research and found the already numerous negative reviews on Trip Adviser before booking. Since I booked with Booking.com this also reflects badly on your standards. I will be adding my review to the list on TripAdvisor and elsewhere to help prevent anyone else from being similarly disappointed by My Getaways.

    Geographical location could have been good, but proved to be really bad. Very misleading on the internet marketing materials and photographs.

    The instructions for check in were a bit confusing, perhaps more clarity with that. Also, we didn’t know how to check out. We did figure it out by calling but maybe knowing before hand would’ve been easier.

    The location was amazing, very close to the coast and easy to get to places. The actual faculties were very, the pictures were very accurate.

    If I had to nit pick…the view wasn’t great and we kept the blinds drawn but no big bother, still a great apartment!

    Excellent facilities, sparkling clean and toddler friendly. Free car parking and easy access to car park was a great help. Watching the ‘how to’ videos beforehand was super useful in coordinating drop off etc. We would definitely stay again!
