Spectacular views from the property
Had a lovely stay at this at this property, it was very well equipped and the owner left a bottle of wine, pastries and milk for us which was a very thoughtful touch. The views of the Solent were spectacular and the apartment very comfortable. My only criticism would be that the flight of stairs up to the apartment are not really disabled friendly

Girlie Getaway
Myself and my 3 friends booked to stay here for a couple of nights 21st -23rd July. The apartment was easy to find, and perfectly located for exploring both Swansea and Portsmouth. The rooms are large, light, roomy and airy and it has great views at the front over to the sea. There were lots of good restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. The kitchen was well equipped, although we all agreed a couple of tea towels would have been handy in the kitchen. There was loads of room for everyone to sit in the lounge, and we all really enjoyed our time in the apartment. Communication with the host was great and we had no issues whatsoever.

Family holiday Southsea
The property was easy to rent through the Vrbo website and queries to the owner were responded to promptly. The property made an excellent base to explore Southsea on foot and by car and the Historic Dockyards were only a 5 minute drive away. Jane was an excellent host who responded to our queries throughout the holiday and any concerns were sorted out promptly. We would happily stay here again.
