    A very comfortable stay, I will definitely be returning!

    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.

    Hot water ran out quickly is the only note.

    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.

    No teapot! The shower has limited headroom, but this is mentioned in the details.

    Good location, 10-15 minutes into the town centre. Good facilities and parking space a real bonus.

    The shower was very short: I'm of average height for a man and I could not stand up in the shower. The mattress was also quite thin.

    Spacious and comfy, but for my stay price was high

    I am 1.64 metres tall. Anyone taller would have to stoop in the shower as my head was almost on the ceiling... For very tall people i imagine it would be very uncomfortable. It would be good to add a cafetiere to the kitchen. It is spacious but expensive, and is some distance from the town centre.

    This is a spacious and comfy property, with separate bedroom, lots of storage, and a reasonable kitchen and bathroom.

    The guests above us were running around their apartment like elephants. Not sure what they were doing but it sounded like they were moving furniture and stomping around with shoes on for hours.

    Lovely little apartment. Everything you need for a little break. Nice pub just round the corner.

    The walls were somewhat thin and sometimes it is possible to hear loud sounds, and the water heater was kind of small so hot water is only enough for one person to shower in every hour.

    It has great location and great staff! House was clean and it had modern vibes. I will definitely book here again in future.

    The place is 1 mile away from center. There are bus services available always, although, we would love to be little closer to station or city center.

    Liked the place. Tidy, neat and clean

    Nothing Just a suggestion- a few tea towels would be useful in the kitchen

    The central location, availability of parking which is difficult in Reading and the comfortable clean accommodation
