    The only issue was the lack of another seat in the living room, the two seater is small and not very comfortable for two people, but other than that everything is perfect

    The flat is perfect for a break in Dunoon, there is free parking 50 yards from the location and a short walk to the main street( the hill is rather steep though) The kitchen was well equipped and the bathroom was lovely and clean with a good electric shower

    Only one negative - The pillows were not great quality and the mattress was hard - but that is a personal preference thing. Others may like hard mattresses and flat as pancakes pillows.

    Great space in a fabulous location with everything you need.

    The stairway up to the flat is a bit dark but apart from that it was fine. Maybe could do with a shelf in the bathroom to put stuff on.

    Great location. 2 min walk to the water front, small local shop around the corner, great chip shop too. 5 min walk to town centre shops. Nice quiet area.

    Bedroom v small and not able to walk around bed. Bed quite soft, pillows quite poor as were cushions on sofa. Stairwell is quite off putting which is a shame. However, all these things said the owner has made use of the small flat and it is ideal for a short break

    Location was excellent. Loved the large windows, nice and clean and good communication. Bright and modern room and all facilities you require for a short break

    The only thing that needs sorting is the shower, the water pressure means it's more of a dribble than a shower. The bath water was nice and hot though

    This is the second time we've stayed at this property and everything was as we expected

    Only small little negative but this is just my personal nag the fact the blinds in the living room didn’t roll all the at down.

    Location was just perfect for us. Walking distance for everything. Great size for a couple staying. Modern and cosy little apartment. Everything was clean and in working order.

    Poor lighting in front door hall --couldn't see to use the key safe or put the key in the lock -had to use mobile phone light Sofa was a tad uncomfortable especially if you're over 6 ft tall Bed could do with a mattress topper as springs poking in back

    Host messaged me prior to arriving with the key safe number. Close to all amenities especially the beach. Clean and had enough equipment for some cooking Quite location Towels were lovely and fluffy

    Some modernisation required. Need shelving in bathroom. An unfortunate smell coming from the nearby chip shop if wrong window open. Entranceway is very dimly lit.

    Good central location. Bed very comfortable. All usual appliances available. Good lighting within the flat. A limited view of the Clyde.

    The front door entrance was very dark and the door lock is a bit fiddly. The mattress on the bed is in need of replacement as the springs can be felt everywhere on it. Extremely uncomfortable! The tv now streaming device asked for login details and as I didn’t have these the only thing we could get on the tv was live channel 4. The internet connection was not available as when entering the password that had been left I was then again asked for the username and password for the account.

    The central location was great

    Not ideal for the larger framed person. Shower not the best. Bath is fibreglass and gives the impression of moving. Better quality mattress would be a great upgrade.

    Situated near town centre. Simple instructions of entry to the apartment. Clean condition. Very cozy. .
