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

Maybe we didn’t know what we were getting into.. but, it is not as pictured. Worn, dirty, and positioned above a pub. The pub wasn’t even the issue, not even close. it was the street noise and every single sound coming through the windows. Street noise, traffic, garbage trucks, construction. And this was despite being provided air plugs..Red flag. no good staying here if you want any sleep. But to speak to the cleanliness. There was none. Everything was rusted and dirty. Don’t do it. Oh and there was also a stage in the apartment. Apartment 1

Lovely apartment, great staff who fixed a hot water issue within 15 mins of reporting. They also checked in with us once again in the morning to make sure all was fine. Can be noisy at night hearing people move around their apartments as there are 4 floors. But not really anyway around that so it’s no one’s fault. Good location with an NCP carpark accross the road.
