    The all in one open bathroom was not practical after using the shower as everything stays wet.

    Just a short walk from downtown, check in was no fuss, room was cozy.

    Bed wasn’t very comfy, mattress too low for the frame so rolled over you hit the wooden side of the bed, had to use a pillow to cushion the sides. The skylight has no blind or curtain so the room is very bright early in the morning. The hallway lights don’t turn off which shine a light through the door frame.

    Good location with street parking. Simple and clear instructions with the lock box.

    Might want to consider leaving car in town once dropping bags.

    Just a short walk into the bars and restaurants at the top of town and dead close to Baltic Market. Was quiet when back in the evening and were very grateful that we could drop bags in earlier than check in.

    Didn’t get a great first impression of the area, but to be fair I had no problems. Was a bit cold on check in and the heating seemed to be externally controlled, so couldn’t turn it on. Later though it came on and was nice and warm in the end. A few other minor issues like main light did not work, bathroom and shower cubicle are a very tight squeeze and there was no blind on the roof light window, so was a bit bright in the morning when I was trying to have a lie in!

    The outside of the property looks pretty rough and unappealing, but totally different story inside. Really nice apartment with good facilities. Suitable for a single traveller or a couple. Plenty of free parking available. Approx 20 min walk from the centre of Liverpool.

    There was a glitch with getting the key, compensated for with complimentary breakfast.

    The room is fine for a single traveller or a couple. It was clean, warm and had towels, shapoo, tea and coffee. The property had a shared lounge and kitchen area though I did not not use it. The street location is quiet. Restaurants, pubs and the city centre are a 10-20 minutes walk or a bus ride.

    The outside of the property was a bit shabby and the location generally was slightly ‘rough’ looking. The security of the main door into the property also felt quite flimsy, like a good kick would have opened it!

    The room was very nicely decorated and felt cosy

    Dial on the shower wasn't working, so you could only have scalding hot water or freezing cold. Bed was quite comfy but I worried I was going to break it - seemed a bit creaky and felt it wasn't quite sturdy enough. Fridge was a little noisy, so turned it off overnight.

    Light and airy room nice to have open windows. Free and easy parking. Close to where I needed to be. Quiet. Fridge and hairdryer supplied. Easy check-in.

    Nicely decorated room in a tranquil and well-located house, but property could use cosmetic repairs
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Double or Twin Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Overall, the room (I was in Room 3) definitely looked a bit run down: chipped edges of the beds, cracks on the walls. The doorframe did not have the strike plate (lock receiver in the door frame) and the door only locked on 1 key turn and still was a bit loose because of the missing plate, which made me a bit uncomfortable as a solo female traveller. In the bathroom the towels had visible old stains on them. A minor thing also was that the tv remote seemed to have run out of batteries as it was not working (but the tv was).

    The location of the property was very convenient - has a bus stop less than 1 minute away with all major lines leading to the city centre, but itself the house is located outside of the busy areas so it's decently quiet in the night! The check-in process was super easy and the host communicated with me quite promptly. Was very happy to see that we had a common kitchen where I could borrow utensils and plates for my breakfasts and dinners. All in all, a good value for money in the period I was there (during the Eurovision week), and a very charmingly decorated room as well!

    The bed was a bit low for my liking but comfortable. Also there wasn't any curtains just a blind so the room was quite light early in the morning.

    It was a lovely place to stay but a little far away from our location. But enjoyed it all the same.

    Room door could do with being replaced as the large gaps around the frame let the hallway light in. Other than that the place was great.

    Parking wasn't an issue just it was on the street which we didn't feel 100% comfortable about doing. Also missing curtains so room was very light in the morning, we also had a missing blind so had to be careful when getting changed. Floor boards aren't the quietest so we could hear upstairs when they came in.

    Clean bedding and towels. Room was clean and lots of space. Good hanging space so we didnt have to choose what could be hanged. Tea/coffee facilities ideal and also a fridge so we could store our own stuff in there. Even though the place is outside the city center very good bus routes that run up till midnight, shop, pizza place and other shops near incase you forgot something. Keys were very easy to collect and use. Location was quiet even though there seemed to be alot of traffic around we didn't hear it and we had the windows opened through the night.
