    The sofa bed wasn't the most stable but it would be fine for a short stay. The only access was by spiral staircase. This was OK for us but might be tricky for some, especially when wet. The biggest complaint was with the management company who charge a £40 damage waiver or will hold £500 for up to 2 weeks. This wasn't clear at the time of booking and added significant cost to a short stay. I would avoid booking a property with the same managent in future.

    The flat was good, very comfortable, spacious and a good location, a short walk out of the town centre but with free parking. It was clean and had everything needed for a short break. It's a strange comment but the windows were great, really high quality.

    Lugging a suitcase up the outside spiral staircase a bit of a pain. Mattress was VERY firm - great if you like that (sadly we don't). These are small details - overall we were very happy with our stay.

    Good location, very spacious and very clean

    just one alert is that the sofa bed is ok for children but not really for adults… a bed overlay above the cushions would make it more comfortable.

    easy to walk in town and with a parking space you then do not need to prêt about the car. Shops conveniently close to get food.

    Fortunately we found the spare pillows for the sofa bed as the ones on the bed were very hard but may want to consider if 4 people staying is there a selection of pillows for all 4. It was quite warm overnight so the mattresses got very hot with body heat - but were very comfortable otherwise Couldn't work out if the lights on the glass cabinet had a switch so they were on the entire stay

    very nice size apartment, well kitted out - nice touch with fan in bedroom; didn't cook anything but seemed equipped to do that well, good parking, easy walk to centre; bed was comfortable; would select to come back here again

    The bed was a bit too hard, need a radio in the kitchen, staircase had plenty of cobwebs, so should be cleaned regularly, the staircase is tight and steep, a possible problem for older people and when carrying their luggage. Additional lighting in the lounge would be nice, as well as some additional cushions on the sofa.

    Location and car parking was great. Good fitted kitchen, good TV with plenty of channels, spacious room throughout with tall ceilings, plenty of linen and towels provided, Good local pubs and restaurants nearby.

    The external spiral staircase was a surprise on arrival, carrying our luggage up took a few journeys.

    The flat was large and well equipped. Good directions to gain entry and easy to find. Close to the harbour in Whitstable, so we were able to walk. Great to have a parking space.

    It was all perfect.

    Very spacious. Very clean. Kitchen perfect for a stay and very well equipped. The flat was lovely and clean. It was a very short walk to town, so a perfect place to leave the car and walk everywhere. Very easy to find on the main road into whitstable. However as it's setback from the road it was very quiet. Would love to stay again.

    The spiral staircase is a challenge, even wearing rucksacks front and back, as reviews said getting suitcases up the spiral staircase could be tricky. Issues arising from the house being over 100 years old, and other maintenance issues.

    It’s bigger than my home (studio flat) Close enough to walk to the shore, harbour and shops. A good place to explore from.

    The steep iron fire escape steps are the only way to get to the property. Location is a bit far to the sea front as it took us 20-25 minutes to walk.

    Nice flat with a separate living room and a good kitchen. It was nice and clean. However the bed not comfortable as the mattress felt like stone.

    I was diagnosed with breast cancer after making this booking. I contacted booking.com on 31st July 2023 to advise that due to this and ongoing medical appointments, we had no choice but to cancel our holiday. I asked if we could either move the dates to next year or have a refund. I had to chase booking.com twice to be told that the host hadn't got back to them. In the meantime, I continued to receive messages from the host asking me to confirm my arrival time. This number was a 'no reply' and the message stated that if I needed to speak to them, I should call a number that is answered 24/7. I called this number and got the dial tone stating the number was not recognised! The day after we were due to arrive, booking.com advised that the host had declined my request as they would be out of pocket! To make it even worse, on the day we would have been checking out, I received a message from the host thanking me for staying there and looking after their property.
