“This very clean and spacious first floor flat for two is within a converted old townhouse and as such is large and airy, ideally situated just a short distance from the Marine Parade, beach, shops and restaurants.”
The NCP carpark is a short walk away, which is convenient if rather expensive, but you can park there overnight and pay for 24 hours by phone app. On arrival if there is a parking space available on the road just outside the flat, you can unload there and have an hour’s parking before you need to move your car which was quite convenient. This is a good central position which we enjoyed.

The flat itself would be absolutely great with a few more bits and pieces - the kitchen equipment is very basic with some essential items missing but hopefully that will be sorted by Sykes now we have informed them of the shortcomings. The shower is poor, has a tiny showerhead with a reduced water flow and the bathroom has absolutely nowhere to put anything down or hang anything up, there’s not a shelf, ledge or hook, so you need to take everything in and out with you each time you use it which was irritating. Towels are thin and of poor quality. There were some maintenance issues (scalding hot water from taps, broken door lock, shower trim falling off etc etc) which we passed on by emailing the management company who very quickly responded and said they would sort them out.
On the plus side, the huge bed was super comfy as was the big sofa. Wifi and Smart TV were good though we never did work out how to use the TV but then we’re hopeless at technology. We didn’t go into the back garden but that would be useful if you’re bringing your dog. Generally speaking this is a very nice flat which would benefit greatly from a bit more thought being given to what the visitor needs from a self catering apartment, especially for the price.
