    The kitchen knives are very dull and could do with replacing. Hard to cut a water melon. 😆 It would be great if the owners would install an Nespresso coffee machine. I have a small machine that I often travel with but would be nice to save the bother.

    Hi quality apartment perfectly situated just a few minutes walk from my son’s student house and a short drive from my daughter. Perfect for me to stay when passing thorough Reading. So much better for me to have a home where we can socialise rather than a hotel room.

    There was no dinning table in our flat due to size but the coffee table was ok.

    The resources you provided i.e - the soap, creams, hand wash, shower gel and shampoo. The large amount of tea bags, sugar and coffee. The kitchen resources were just right as well. Quiet area to stay in. Comfortable bed.

    We had an amazing stay! The house is conveniently located near bus stops with direct routes to the city center, which take just 7–10 minutes. There are also Tesco Express and Co-Op stores conveniently situated right across the street. Being on a quiet side street rather than the main road was a big plus for us. The house was exceptionally clean, exceeding my expectations as someone who values cleanliness. Our host, Stephanie, was incredibly kind and quick to respond to all our inquiries. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook this place if I visit Reading again!

    It is a personal thing, but I find the beds too squishy.

    Super clean, comfortable flat, easy to walk or get bus to town centre. Convenience stores very close, Kitchen has all the equipment and facilities needed. Very good communications from the management team, even when I had to do some messing around with dates. Have stayed here before, and would definitely stay again.

    There is lots of information re check in, deposits etc, and these messages come in a string, attached to one email, so it looks like you've had the same message several times. Just have to scroll all the way down to find the latest attachment - not a deal breaker, just a bit confusing at first. Bed a bit too soft and like being on a bouncy castle, but I know that's personal taste. I'd happily stay here again.

    Spotlessly clean, convenient base for us, easy to get bus into town centre. Parking space is a bonus. It's contactless check in, but staff on phone were helpful when needed to check details. We'll provided with little touches like cleaning products that make a stay more comfortable.

    The only issue I had was no hot water in the main sink in the kitchen, other than that it was perfect, and the TV remote was very slow (maybe some new batteries will solve this!)

    Really loved this property! It felt so homey and welcoming with everything you needed provided to ensure you had a comfortable stay! Great location and parking on a driveway which is rare for this area of Reading!

    I regret to inform you of two issues encountered during my stay. Firstly, the noise from the heater in the bedroom disrupted my sleep quality on the first night, then I turned off the heater on the second night and I got the perfect sleep quality but a bit cold. Secondly, there was a lack of hot water from the second night until the morning of my departure.

    There are lots of things I can tell, a super comfy bed, cleaning facilities, efficient problem-solving action, great location, and a good host.

    It was so comfortable and cosy that I never wanted to go out so never saw much of Reading.

    Very stylish and modern immaculately kept property. Very warm and cosy. Everything was of the highest quality. Good location with good parking. Very quiet as I never heard any of the neighbours through out the 3 days I stayed.

    Lovely flat! We really enjoyed our stay, bed was comfy and everywhere spotless. Milk, cereal, tea/coffee left for you which was a nice touch. The radiators were electric and heated the room very quickly!! Smart TV with everything you could need - would recommend and stay again.
