Liked: Location
The house itself, with a lovely garden, is in a great location being about a half hours walk from the seafront and an easy 15 minutes from a variety of general shops, more locally 5-10 minutes from Co op and Tesco express.It is set in a very quiet and friendly neighbourhood with the owners on hand just over the road in case of any issues. The house was very clean on our arrival with unique decor complementing the property! Beds and sofas were comfortable but it does have limited china,cutlery and towels with no washing machine so would suggest bringing extra towels. The fridge is also quite small. There is so much to see and do in Southsea with an abundance of eateries to choose from that it would be a great choice for all ages.
