    The review book mentioned that the tv doesn’t work quite a few times and we tried watching some tv and it still isn’t working. The bedsheets felt quite old and the mattress, however comfortable. Also we had a pram and we weren’t informed that there was about 5 narrow flights of stairs to climb.

    Clean, spacious and home like.

    The sofa bed wasn't great, the bed in the room was OK, though.

    Good location, good price. It was cheap and pretty much what I expected for the price tbf.

    Smell in bathroom from drains? Overpowering at times. No washing up liquid or dishcloth or hand towel in kitchen. Codevon door instead of key.

    View from windows and location were excellent. Clean Large TV. Free wifi. Couldn't hear road or neighbours. Excellent description of how to get in and where entrance was located.

    We used the parking space so the back entrance, little side street, pitch black alleyway, good job for phone torches.... a light did come on when we got closer to the back door. The staircase was quite narrow. Don't recall reading that it was 3rd floor when booking. The outside looked horrible so we went up to check the apartment before deciding to stay in case it matched but luckily it didn't! Maybe the front entrance was more appealing No Netflix as advertised, disappointed 7-year-old after a busy day who was using the front room.(one for all remote, we tried everything) There was an awful smell coming from the kitchen, couldn't find anything to cause it so that was odd and a bit off-putting

    Was like a little home from home., front room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. Had everything you needed for a few nights away (ours was only one night).lovely little apartment. Location was in a close driving location to a major supermarket. The host was really responsive to communication especially as there was an error with booking.com messages the day of reveieving our stay in information

    Floor in kitchen is slightly sloped but it is called topsy turvy after all. 😊 Alot of steep steps to flat and rear entrance alleyway is slippery when wet.

    Its a nice little flat once inside, don't be put off by the exterior or parking situation. It may look a bit sjetchy but its safe enough. Area is busy and noisy but the windows block most of the noise out. Well equipped and comfortable. Shower is excellent!

    We couldn’t get into the front door for about half an hour with the code we were provided. We were directed to the back door as an alternative by the property owner over text. I let them know that it worked and that we were in, expecting to receive something along the lines of “great, sorry about that, enjoy your stay”, but I received nothing. Appreciate it might not have been the property owner’s fault either but it wasn’t ours and it would’ve been nice to have even the tiniest of apologies for the inconvenience. If it wasn’t for this, and the 1-2 word responses I received when enquiring about late checkout (£20 by the way) etc, I probably would’ve given it a 10 like I do with most places I stay.

    The flat was nicer than we expected for the price and there were cookies, coffees, etc which is always a nice touch. There was also shampoo, towels, etc that you would expect. It’s in a good location for a night out on Wind Street if that’s your motive

    Wasn't properly cleaned before our stay. (Maybe due to holidays - but not really nice) Sofa and carped not vacuumed - crumbs and fluff... Could use a all over cleaning and some renovations - then it would be so lovely. I'm sure they can implement this! :)

    Cute set up apartment with bedroom, living room, bath and kitchen. Central but quiet location. Sea-view from the bed and all rooms. Grocerie stores and restaurants around the corner. Fair price - would come back.

    -Top floor, steep stairs. Not a massive issue but I would have appreciated it knowing this in advance as I was traveling with an elderly person. -No internet connection. The network was there but signal was so weak it wouldn't even connect to the internet. -It looked a bit shabby and it could have done with a good deep clean. You could tell it had been cleaned (superficially) as surfaces, floors and sheets were clean but sofa was full of (dog?) hair, windows seriously stained, carpets smelled of dump a bit as you walked in, etc. Liveable but it gave us a bit of a student accommodation sort of vibe which seems to be quite common in Swansea.

    +Very good location +Big kitchen, living area space +Bright and confortable +Staff was nice and responsive. +Easy self check-in

    Sofa bed was awful, hallway and the shower door did not close properly.

    I liked the location of the property the main bed was comfortable but the sofa bed was not comfortable at all. A bit of confusion when trting to get in as the flat next door had a brown and the same number.
