2 Bedroom Flat in Colchester

The location is great and it's great to have parking or garage. The beds are roomy and super comfortable.

Simple things could make the accommodation better. Clearing /tidying things in cupboards.Fixing shower head holder. Instructions on using cooker etc. The entire apartment needs to be cleaned and checked more thoroughly.

Location is great, peaceful near the town . Very homey feeling and we got privacy. Sofa Bed is very comfy . Everything we need is provided. I give the host 5 star . I like it that host responded quickly and flexible when we need to extend our stay were lucky theirs no booking and they agree to extend . I recommend the place and could use them again in the future.

Central, convenient, easy access and parking included. Good communication with host too.

Kitchen supplies were very limited, no salt, pepper etc (not that they said it would be provided tho). If you're planning to cook though, bring everything you think you'll need

MY REVIEW IS FOR THE PROPERTY WE WERE SWITCHED TO IN CO2 9GD. We booked this place but due to a boiler breakdown were moved (twice) 48hrs before arrival. The new place was close in location to this original property & had good water pressure, new beds and good blackout curtains

The place we were switched to was dirty! The beds hadn't been made in either room. The kitchen sink had a broken plug and was left lying in the basin. There was potato peelings on the floor, we tried to hoover up, but the hoover was already completely full. There were no bin liners in any bins so we couldn't empty the hoover and we just took all our rubbish home with us. The door handle on one bedroom fell off in our hand as soon as we used it. There were cup watermarks on the glass table. The electric hob was covered in oil & stains. Tesco bags were lying around the kitchen worktops with a dirty kitchen towel. No lightshades, one light bulb was missing out the two pendants in the living room. Paint was falling off the walls and on the floor, obviously not been cleaned before our arrival. The previous occupants had washed up and left everything on the drainer, which was also completely overfull. Mould around the ensuite shower doors. Window outside apartment was stuck open, it was ground floor which made me question security. The entrance to the apartment block had water stained carpets and piles of junk mail lying on the floor. There was dust built up on the bathroom radiator and pipes. There was "sellotape" across bottom of the TV screen. There was night storage heating & 2 electric heaters - very hot! I know it was a cheap and you get what you pay for, but, this property had pictures showing clean rooms & toiletrys - we had washing up liquid, one hand soap (between two bathrooms), bathroom cleaner (which we had to use before showering) and toilet roll. Not at all like we booked! I notice previous bookers also mentioned they were swapped shortly before their arrival dates. I do question whether maybe you are pulled into booking with the pretty pictures of this apartment, then swapped to sub-quality alternative.

Great location, good to have the garage to park the hire car in, nice apartment. Clean, good kitchen facilities.

For us, uncomfortably soft mattresses on the beds/sofa bed. Toilet seat coming loose. Also, some instructions on how to open the sash windows would be useful (it's not obvious to someone from Central Europe).

Only good thing was the parking space

We were given a different flat than the one we booked with no notification. New flat was not baby friendly. The windows in the bedroom didn't open. No shower gel provided. Anywhere you go (flat, hotel) you are given the basics, not here. Flat was a bit smelly and cleaning was minimal. Way too expensive for what you get
