The host was absolutely fantastic and I couldn’t have asked for any more. Apartment was well equipped and considering being in the middle of all the bars and clubs was very well sound insulated. I would recommend to family’s that this is in the middle of a busy nightlife part of Liverpool so may not be suitable for young children. But workers/couples or friends it’s absolutely ideal for being in the centre. Thank you so much :) Sam

Very good location if you like nightlife & music. Very close to Beatles associated stuff, like museum & Cavern club. Very helpful staff to check in as app was faulty, however in the dorm one very noisy guest whose loud snooring kept us up all night & the staff were unhelpful.
