    could do with a few more pictures and mirrors. It's a bit sparse and clinical. Bathroom plug missing in sink. Put a rail or holder up for the shower head in the main bathroom. It's down at the tap height which is no good if you want to shower.

    met by owner who was extremely helpful. Clean and tidy. Larger than expected.

    Martin meeting us at the property. He guided us in from the main road, showed us our parking space and gave us a very thorough and helpful introduction to the building and our flat. His advice on travelling into London and somewhere local to eat at night was spot on :-)

    Everything was great

    Great location - close to bus, train (to London) and local shops. Warm and well insulated, low outside noise noticed. Well equiped kitchen that we were able to make dinners etc. Sofa bed was comfortable, as were all the other beds. Martin was easily contactable and friendly. Can’t fault!

    No complaints whatsoever! We liked everything.

    Good communication from Abodebed regarding our booking. Martin, our host was so welcoming, friendly and helpful and gave us great travel information especially for visiting London. Perfect location and easy to find. Apartment security was excellent and on site parking was a bonus. Spotlessly clean, comfortable, well appointed apartment with everything we needed. Quiet and relaxing with very comfortable beds. Easy driving distance to Harry Potter tour and supermarkets and shopping within minutes walk away. We'll definitely book here again !

    Ideal spot for visiting Harry Potter World

    We were in the area to visit Harry Potter World and this worked perfectly for us. It's a very convenient location at the bottom of St Albans Hill (the road from the M1) and on the Magic Roundabout. The host is very helpful and met us on site. You just message him when you're 45 mins away. Apartment has super comfortable beds, was warm in January and had plenty of hot water. It's also very clean. Undercover secure parking. Breakfast cereals were provided and milk. The kitchen is very well equipped with plenty of cookware if you wish to make your own meals. Wifi was good. We didn't spend a lot of time in the place except to eat and sleep. We wanted somewhere with space and light that was within reasonable distance from Harry Potter World (15 mins in a car) and this fitted the bill perfectly. (BTW excellent restaurants in Hemel's Old Town. Highly recommend Cochin and ChangMai.)

    One of the nicest place we have stayed during our 3 weeks Europe trip. Compare to many other hotel/apt we stayed, Adobebed at Handleys Court is one of the best accommodation.

    People below us were smoking on terrance and it kept wafting into our apt. We had to close windows. Sometimes it was noisy at night.

    For 5 people, it was spacious. We liked having extra bathroom and a large fridge. Staff were very helpful. Located close to an Aldi.

    The parking lot gate for check out. If the layby outside is full like it was for our check out then it's tricky to park the car outside and go back inside to post your parking gate key fob. The parking lot is basically on the magic roundabout so if the layby is full it's hard work.

    The apartment was very clean and a nice size. I liked the personal touches by the host like supplying us with milk and cereal.

    The only let down was the parking as I didn't get any space in the allocated bay on the first day. There were limited spots you could park in as most were reserved. The parking was also very tight in these spots. With the apartment I had asked for a king and super king bed and I got a king and a double bed but it was still ok as we had a sofa bed in the living room.

    Loved the apartment and the view was great as it overlooked the big roundabout and although it was noisy with traffic i dont mind that as i sleep better with background noise. The opening balcony was great and the apartment was spacious. Both bathrooms had ensuite as well as an extra bathroom which was great. The parking is very secure to get in and out so that's an extra safety and there are takeaways near by that we could pick food from. I always book hotels but I would definitely consider apartments next time. The host was great with communication as I could always get through to him and he was very helpful.

    Would not change anything.

    Host was more than accomodating, if there was anything we needed they replied straight away. As a family of five there was more than enough space for us. Teenagers and toddler loved the apartment. Appliances and decor was very modern and maintained to a high standard. Close to centre where we could venture out without the car. We stayed for 3 nights. Very quiet, we did not get disturbed by any noise. Great price for what we got, when looking for a place to stay it was much better value than the branded inns and lodges. Would definitely stay again.
