Comfortzone Rentals Ipswich Marina1 2Bed Apt

I agree with others that the apartment is quiet, well-located and has good views of the river. It was well-equipped for self-catering with supplies of tea, coffee and cereals. There was also plenty of spare bedlinen and pillows. The lounge and double bedroom had curtains and blinds which fully covered the windows. Convenient location for restaurants and bars. The property manager has remote access to the entry door for the block and the keys are in a key box outside the apartment. The wifi was very good. Travelled by train, so can't comment on parking, but easy to get a taxi from the station.

The issue which has lowered the score in my case is that when we stayed, the blind in the twin bedroom did not fully cover the window. This meant that (in mid-June) the bedroom was very light from 4.30 am to 10 pm. It also affected privacy as people in the street below, or on boats on the river could see into the bedroom. I contacted Imran as soon as I realised this was an issue, but unfortunately he was unable to rectify it during our stay. I assume this has now been addressed and appreciated the partial refund.

the location was perfect accessable to ev erything, the apartment was fabulous with everything we needed home away from home in the USA...plenty of sheets,pillows,towel,toiletries..there was spices, milk,teabags and other things complimentary for us, so thoughtful...We were sorry to leave, Cannot wait to book this apartment again. the balcony was wonderful to watch the boats sail by..We loved the restaurants and stores a few minutes walk from us...Thanks to our host who is a wonderful friendly helpful man...we loved the whole experience. Thank you!!!!

there was nothing we didnot like

Spacious apartment with a great view and comfortable beds. We were a family of 5 adults and could fit reasonably well although there were only 4 mugs and 4 dining chairs. Once a couple of our party had returned to work, there was plenty of space for 3 of us.

Unfortunately it was very noisy. The Marina is home to several bars and restaurants including one right next door and on Friday/Saturday nights there was shouting until after 2am. It's also adjacent to a working port. The ship that arrived at the dock next to the apartment building during our stay (end June 25) was unloaded on 2 days from 6am and left the following day at 4.50am. There is also work happening on the opposite side involving jack hammers from 7.30am. While we appreciate that all of this is out of the host's control, the cleanliness of the apartment was our other issue. The fridge and worktop was clean and the table beautifully laid but the floors needed cleaning, especially around the edges and it was dusty with hairs everywhere.

The property was very easy to find and Imran was extremely helpful with checking in. Great location and good value for money.
