Very good

Good location. Unfortunately the front door would not unlock so we couldn’t get into the building for an hr and a half and only because somebody else was going in - not a good start to the weekend. 25 minute walk into town. Parking is hit and miss as there are alot of cars around. Room was a nice size and adequate for what we needed. Mattress was a bit soft so not to my liking but comfortable. No milk unfortunately but when I contacted the host he brought some to us. Tv does not have basic free view due to no signal but plenty of streaming available.

Thank you for your feedback.
I am sorry you had difficulty with the front door.
Parking in Southsea can vary, it is a popular destination.
I hope we can welcome you back for a smoother experience next time.
Needed somewhere to stay when visiting family. Good, reasonable priced accommodation for one night stay. Clean and good facilities.Close to Southsea seafront.
