Weekend break - trendy apartment.
The apartment is located on the end of a parade of shops. The CO-Op is opposite, which is convenient to get those essential bits. If you can’t find street parking there is a car park also opposite where you can park for £5 per day.
You enter through a huge grey door straight into the apartment. There is no lobby, you walk straight into the kitchen area. A small square dining table and four chairs are in the corner. You walk up two steps to the bedroom and small en-suite.
If you come back towards the front door there is a staircase which leads you downstairs (basement) to the living room area more like a snug. There is a sliding door to another bedroom and on the opposite side of the snug is a door to the bathroom. We used the shower in this bathroom as much bigger. The Apartment has lots of TVs but no signal for terrestrial channels, there are other channels available such as Netflix’s etc. Lots of LED strip lighting around the TVs and in the downstairs bedroom which our children loved.
Positive - Trendy industrial feel apartment with lots of IKEA bits, within walking distance to the Westcliff area of Bournemouth beach and 20 min walk to central Bournemouth. Perfect for a weekend break.
Negative- A little bit of road noise but given the location it would be hard to avoid. The ground floor bedroom as it’s street level you can hear the conversation of people passing by the window but again it’s not constant and we slept.
Feedback for the owner -The carpet at the top of the stairs needs attention before it becomes a trip hazard.
If staying with children from a security point of view I would have liked the key to the other lock or a bolt internally to secure the door as we felt quite vulnerable with the front door opening direct onto the street, so we made our children sleep downstairs.
As previous reviewers have stated mirrors in the bathrooms are needed.
Overall - A good stay in a well located and comfortable apartment with fabulous weather too.
