This is a fantastic property in a great location. It’s very comfortable and tastefully decorated with all the modern facilities. I think the location is perfect. The only negative comments I will make is that there are signs throughout the property to remind guests not to do this or that, and also that the backyard cannot be access before 7am or after 9pm.

Easy access to beach and restaurants.
Nice property, comfortable with everything one needs. Great for four of us although might feel overcrowded with ten. While understandable that the back garden shouldn’t be used for partying as it would disturb the neighbours during this spell of very hot weather was disappointing we couldn’t open the door just to let some air through. Also, would feel unsafe sleeping in the downstairs bedroom with no way to get out if there was a fire outside the bedroom door. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay.

Thanks for feedback and I'm pleased you enjoyed your stay. This bedroom has a large window in it which opens for ventilation. There are additionally numerous fans in the property. In case of fire you should leave via the front door which this bedroom is close to and not via the patio as the garden is enclosed by a high wall and is not a suitable fire escape point. The outside space can be used up to 9pm.

Great location, just off a main high street and a short walk to the seafront. The Pier is approx. 10 minutes walk and The Lanes even less. We were really surprised how quiet it was at night. The property is very well equipped and spacious. There was fresh milk in the fridge, tea/coffee and some Twixes along with dishwasher tabs and other cleaning products. A lovely touch was a vase of fresh flowers.

An OK Stay.
Apartment and location were good but parking in Brighton is a nightmare and the spot made available by the host was some distance away. Did not appreciate hosts surly manner when contacted and her question “Did we want parking?” When it had been booked and charged for and paid for!!! Seemed to be a consistent less than friendly attitude of the locals towards tourists which is strange considering it is a tourist destination and these same tourists are using and paying for the facilities. Perhaps Catherine can improve her phone manner to be more welcoming in the future.

Thank you for your feedback and I am pleased that you found the property and location good. To clarify this property is a house and not an apartment. There is a dedicated parking space for this property which is in the next street. The house is in Dean street and the space is in Montpelier Terrace. This is the only property advertised in the town centre on this site that has this facility and yes you are correct Brighton parking is not the easiest without a dedicated space. Apologies that I needed to check if you needed parking but the notification that this had been booked does not sometimes come through on the mobile app and I always double check this with guests. The space was waiting for you though.

Quaint and clean
Great location, great decorating, very clean, bright with a small patio. House is very small and rather tight for room for our family of five, but was clean and nicely decorated. Ideally located right in the heart of the city. Owner is great

Central Brighton location
The Brighton flat was clean and good for our family of 4. Having 2 bathrooms was nice. The kitchen was clean, the coffee and tea was great and the little deck and garden out back was lovely to enjoy our morning coffee. The parking pass was convenient and just a couple of blocks away. Also nice to have a washer and dryer. The host, Catherine was responsive. The flat is central and easy to walk to shops and restaurants. Not the hosts fault but the seagulls and cars were a bit noisy and woke us up a few times.

Thank you for your review and I'm pleased you enjoyed your stay. Just to clarify this is a self-contained house and not a flat. The road is also not a noisy road for the centre of the city. There is very little traffic in it. With the windows open at the front if a car was passing you may hear this. I have not heard seagulls particularly in this property as they don't live on the roof here but being by the seaside they are of course around en route to get fish in the sea.

Central, clean and well equipped. Parking provision and any special requests disappointing.
We were a mature group of ladies celebrating my Sister's 50th and including my 82 year old mother. It was just a little disappointing that any requests were met with more concern about the upkeep of the property and all the local rules rather than making our very responsible group feel welcome. The property is advertised boldly with parking on the Home Away site. In reality this is a shared parking permit which was only made available for 48 hours rather than the 3 days requested. The request to extend it just for a few hours was turned down. Any other booking any of us had experienced elsewhere included parking immediately outside the property - in this case it was a bit of a trek with all our bags. Maybe take a look at the damp in the front bedroom? Our visit was fine but but it could have been wonderful by just removing a little of the unnecessary stress in moving cars around and not being made to feel you were walking on eggshells while staying there in case you upset the neighbours.

Thank you for your review and I'm pleased you like the property and location. In response to your point about the parking space it is not a shared space it is a dedicated space for the property which in central Brighton is an extremely rare resource. No other property offers this. The parking space is only available for the duration of your stay as new guests arriving after your departure needed to use it. It is also only charged for the duration of your stay and is a fraction of the price to use than other parking options. I was not aware of any requests from your group other than wishing to use the space on the day after your check-out which was not possible as new guests were arriving and had booked this. The availability of the space would have been made clear before booking and there are NCP car parks as an alternative. There is no damp in the bedroom as the room was damp proofed professionally in 2016 when the whole house was renovated. However, there is occasional condensation on the balcony door windows which can be resolved by opening the window when it has been wet.

Great place for a comfortable weekend away in Brighton
We rented this house for my sister's hen do and it really was exactly what we needed! It fits 9 people comfortably to sleep and all the amenities (cooking, bathrooms, linen etc.) were ideal for self catering and a couple of nights away. Location is right near all the things to do in Brighton and the shops are literally around the corner. The house itself is really nicely decorated and the courtyard out the back is beautifully designed. With great weather too, needless to say we had a great time and I would highly recommend this place.
