Guest Reviews
- Elizabeth (8/5): Good location for us and nice and cool when hot outside. - It was lovely and cool in the heatwave due to being in the basement. Well thought out layout and comfortable bed (I like it on the hard side). The garden was nicely secluded with lots of birdsong and I liked that it only got full sun for a few hours due to the trees although sun worshippers might not be so keen on that. The ferns outside the back door were a nice touch which stopped it feeling oppressive as some basements can. The sofa bed was very uncomfortable to sit on and there was no alternative. There is space for a small table and 2 chairs but the only other sitting space was the breakfast bar with two high stools with no backs. Only one bedside table so we used one of the stools the other side. We got back late from a family party on a Saturday night and had to drive around for ages to find a parking space but that was the only time we had to move the car as it is an easy walk into town and the train stations. The stones on the long path to the garden are not easy to walk on. Some stepping stones would be a huge improvement.
- Jennifer (10/5): - It was clean, easy to find and access. It was welcoming.
- Stellar (1/5): -
- Vikas Kumar (10/5): Perfect for 2 people. - Good location. WiFi speed is excellent. All the basic kitchen amenities I expected were there.
Nice sized open space at the back of property.
Communication from Sean was perfectly timed throughout the stay. Nothing to say really. If I really had to give an opinion, I would say a small office table and chair will be helpful
- Justin (8/5): -
- Julie (10/5): Perfect, exactly what I needed, a little home away from home, would highly recommend - Location, cleanliness, facilities, easy to find, everything you need Sofa could be more comfortable but that’s just me being picky!!
- Katrina (6/5): Good location, clean and compact. - Location is good with just a 10 minute walk into town centre. The flat looked clean and the beds were really firm and comfy (I'd let Sean know we'd be using the sofa bed and he kindly made it up before we arrived). The nespresso machine and pods were appreciated. Remember it's a basement so it's compact, especially the bathroom.
There's a sense that there's been previous trouble with guests as the 'house rules' are everywhere. Messaged twice before the stay with them, the 'welcome pack' is just the house rules again (no local info which might have been nice) and the only wall hangings are - the house rules... We did feel a little on eggshells.
It's laudable including gadgets like a velvetier and cafetière but without supplies they can't be used. The garden was a little disappointing with worn furniture and not much care taken. Whilst we appreciated the sofa bed having been made up for use, it's not the sofa in the photos, it's much smaller and once made up as a bed couldn't then be turned back into a sofa.
- Keith (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rachel (10/5): 5 Stars! - Lovely little flat. Good location local to where we needed to be. Clean and tidy. Everything there that is needed.
My little one loved the flat, it was just myself and my son so more than enough space for the both of us.
- Mano (10/5): Comfortable warm home. - Super clean and lovely to stay, felt like home. Everything was set to be ready for us to be invited to. I loved everything. Just the flashing lights at night but overall nothing
- Davey (9/5): Superb -
- Sibel (10/5): would recommend anyone to stay here - Everything was just so perfect nicely set up very clean and was lovely such a nice stay everything was perfect to hot water and heating was nice and cosy easy to feel relaxed
- Calvin (8/5): Very good - Great location, host was available to answer any queries I had. Flat is well maintained and great facilities. Would highly recommend.
- Jakelyn (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful place to stay, Sean was really helpful nothing it was perfect
- Jeff (10/5): Wonderful property, would highly recommend! - Great property, spotlessly clean, well positioned. A welcome alternative to a generic hotel room. Toilet/shower room was a bit tight, but then I’m a 21 Stone guy. So no real complaints.
- Mahmud (9/5): Superb -
- Natalie (8/5): Peaceful and comfortable - The property was easy to access and parking was good. The host was very responsive and helpful prior to the visit, but I didn’t feel the need to make contact whilst there.
The property itself is small but tastefully decorated and the layout particularly in the kitchen/dining area is ideal with lovely lighting. I can imagine in the summer with the outdoor space added it would be even nicer.
We had a peaceful stay which is exactly what we needed. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the best sleep as the bed was uncomfortable and squeaky. There was also a couple of security lights which kept activating. The blinds didn’t keep the light out, so it was a tad annoying.
The host kindly made up the sofa bed, but upon inspection and as pointed out by a previous guest it was quite stained which wasn’t ideal.
- Kristina (7/5): Good - I like how well the owner utilised the space, it was clean, comfortable and fit for purpose. Car permit was provided. Parking which is out of the hands of the owner, it was difficult getting a parking spot.
Not enough lightning when opening the door especially at night.
- Dartfordodeta (10/5): Amazing property - Modern clean and thouthful Waiting for someone to come and let us in
- Nigel (9/5): An excellent oasis in Maidstone - Wow, a real oasis in Maidstone! Very nice apartment, all mod cons, very well looked after and clean. Less than 10 minutes walk into town, and nearby Co-Op, Tesco mini markets, and excellent fish and chip soup.
Sean, the owner, is very welcoming and accommodating. Also has its own garden! Nothing!
- Dave (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing place everying you need to a short stay will definitely book again Nothing
- Rhiannon (10/5): Comfy, spacious, modern and the little details really made our stay perfect - Sean’s property was spotless and such a calm energy. The decor is beautiful and he made lovely efforts to accommodate our baby boy with a lovely high chair, beautiful cot and kids bowl/spoon.
The location was perfect for getting into town or exploring the Kent countryside.
The bed was so comfy and there were no outside noises to disrupt us.
Communication with Sean with smooth and prompt and it was a pleasure to liaise with him.
Would throughly recommend and we hope to visit again soon!
Thanks so much Sean
- David (9/5): Lovely stay in well furnished accommodation - Lovely small basement flat, very clean, good facilities WiFi hit and miss at times, very small bathroom
- Sharon (10/5): Excellent home from home. - This is a perfectly proportioned self-contained property. Easy to find, with street parking a huge bonus.
The flat is really thoughtfully furnished, ultra clean and well maintained. We felt completely at home. Our host has pretty much thought of everything and the communications and information provided is first class. Really there’s nothing to say.
- Eleanor (8/5): Very good -
- Chris (9/5): This was a great find.. good location, great I do and clear instructions.. would definitely stay again when in Maidstone - A little oasis… compact and clean… All good!
- Okere (10/5): Exceptional -
- Emily (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dee (10/5): Beautifully maintained flat with all mod cons. - Kitchen was fully fitted. Comfortable seating. Bed was very comfortable. Spotless cleaning. Had a back door leading to garden which could be opened for fresh air. Shower was great and body wash is coconutty.
Water bottles a nice touch. Much appreciated. Nothing. Excellent stay.
- Emily (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lisa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Malcolm (10/5): I would definitely plan to stay there again if the opportunity arose. - Very well-equipped self-catering one-bed apartment. Clearly recently and thoughtfully decorated. Strongly recommended. As I currently have a bad back etc, neither the bar stools nor the low settees entirely suited me. Parking could be a problem: i was lucky to get a very convenient space.
- Melanie (9/5): Superb - The apartment was super lovely. It was clean & situated in a quiet road. The apartment has a high quality feel with its furnishings and interiors. It felt brand new. There were even individually hygiene wrapped toothrushes in the bathroom which I thought was a lovely touch. Sean was very communicative & helpful. We will definitely book again & it was great value for money.
- Sarah (10/5): Perfect. - It was clean and fresh and well equipped. Decent location for restaurants and shops.
Would 100% recommend
- Siobhan (10/5): Exceptional - It’s location was perfect for us. With the added advantage of a garden. It was really clean and well appointed. Nothing.
- Elisaveta (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean, comfortable, and cozy. It is in a residential area, so the neighborhood is clean and quiet.
- Paweł (10/5): Exceptional - Great, clean place. Sean was helpful, no problem with contact at all. I would definitely come back here if I ever visit Maidstone again.
- Lee (10/5): Exceptional - Well equipped, Comfortable everything u need. Very clean and tidy. No curtains for back doors
- Amy (10/5): 10/10 would recommend - The cleanliness (you'd never know it was dog friendly with how clean it was) and the check in time is 1pm usually its 3/4ish so that was a massive bonus!! No salt and pepper lol
- Chuter (8/5): Very good -
- James (10/5): We stayed here after a housing emergency with our son. We were comfortable and warm and felt looked after. - Was very clean modern and comfortable.
Had everything we needed for a good stay.
Easy to find. Nice and central. Very modern and had all equipment we needed for the night.
It was lovely to see bottled water by the bed, and a charger supplied for the forgetful type. No fault of the property as we arrived very very late (we are grateful to have got the booking) but the parking was difficult at that time of night (approx 10pm) there were people that had double parked making not enough spaces for all. However the following morning the road was nearly empty and full of spaces. A permit was supplied too thank you
- Charlotte (9/5): Lovely clean apartment! - Lovely decorated space! Clean and perfect for us and our for legged friend. Great communication with Sean. Easy parking right outside the property. Would definitely stay again if visiting the area. All was good for our needs.
- Brett (10/5): An Amazing basement flat, perfect for 2 people. - The Flat was really well presented and had a lovely fit and finish to every room. The kitchen/dining/lounge area are really nice and cosy, you can watch TV, cook dinner and sit with your loved one. I liked that the host had laminated instructions along with a parking permit. We could park right out the front of the flat everyday we stayed. The WiFi was fast and stable, the TV had all the streaming channels you could ask for and the NEST heating was really nice and hot fast. The shower was also very nicely finished, clean and powerfull.
Overall, I wouldn't have asked for more apart from if I can move in. Nothing.
- Samantha (10/5): Modern spacious and welcoming - Beautiful use of the space - clean welcoming and comfortable - beautifully decorated throughout

- Shaun (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gary (10/5): You will not beat this property for a stay in Maidstone. - This property was meticulously cleaned. My wife runs her own cleaning business and it takes a lot to impress her, she gave it 10 out of 10.
Even plates and cutlery laid out for us. Walking distance to many shops, pubs, restaurants and near beautiful river. Will definitely book again. Everything in flat immaculate.
Good immediate response with any questions. Liked everything.
- Juri (10/5): Exceptional -
- Keith (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful apartment. Everything you can think of. Will definitely head back
- Dionne (9/5): Superb - Pretty much everything. How well the space had been used, how clean the whole place was, how well presented, all the little things like toothbrushes and toothpaste in the bathroom, tea and coffee, coffee machine, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, fluffy towels. Exceeded my expectations. Really responsive, friendly host. Nothing
- Kemishia (10/5): Great short stay accommodation. - Such a cute property only 10/15m walk to the local shops. Sean was great at communicating and answering questions. Very clean and well presented accommodation, spacious and all chargers were provided as a nice touch. First world problem: The coffee machine didn’t come with instructions.
- Alex (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wheeler (10/5): Exceptional -

Very clean and tidy
Good coffee and other facilities
Very child friendly, everything we needed for our toddler daughter was provided No issues at all
- Hannah (10/5): great value - super modern and clean, easy access
- Leonie (9/5): Pretty modern flat in a quiet Street with own small outside sitting area - Modern design of the furniture/the hole flat, enough space and even an outside sitting area. Every equipment that one would need! Regarding the one night we have stayed, we were happy!
- Mark (7/5): A potentially fantastic spot with a couple of tweaks. - Really lovely deco and layout, lots of very nice touches and thoughtful extras such as chargers, water, toothbrushes etc. Free parking was a good touch and the pressure on the shower was spot on. Nice and cool on a hot day! Great hosts. Sadly, this space could be excellent but missing a few things. Firstly, the bed could do with a mattress topper - both of us did not sleep well. Secondly, sharing the wifi was really frustrating especially when trying to work. In the evening - watching the TV wasn’t an option because the wifi signal was so bad.
- Anonymous (10/5): Really pleased, would definitely stay again - clean, modern, functional, comfortable nothing much but maybe the steps down to the door could be hazardous if you’ve had a drink or struggle with mobility etc
- Anthony (9/5): Superb -
- Nina (10/5): Amazing will definitely be back! - Beautifully done and spotlessly clean, everything was thought of… lovely Apartment. nothing
- Lynsey (9/5): Stylish apartment in a great location. The host has added all the extras to make it a very comfortable stay. Would high - Great location, really stylish apartment. Nothing.
- Naomi (10/5): Exceptional value for money in a well furnished, spotless apartment. - Beautifully furnished, very clean, comfy beds nice water pressure in the shower and had everything we needed. Sean was very accommodating and easy to contact for checking in. We had a great stay here. Exceptional value for money. No complaints; it was great
- Wendy (10/5): we were in the area for our sons wedding at the weekend and wanted to break our journey and explore the area . this was - it was a hidden jewel in a busy area . the flat was very well laid out , had everything we needed and was quiet we liked everything about it - really couldn’t fault it in any way .
- Russell (10/5): easy to book, easy access to a cracking 3 bed apartment near the town centre. recommend - very clean, very modern, well equipped for a modern day traveler. contact with the management was good. location for Maidstone town centre was excellent. the only issue we had was the parking. even with the Parking permit supplied, late night parking is a pain.
- Nick (10/5): Exceptional - This place was very very clean and we felt so welcome.
When we arrived the table was set for me and my wife, but also for our little baby: they had foreseen a baby chair. The whole place felt (and is) super new...
Normally I would not want to use the furniture and the coffeemachine etc, but here it was all so clean. Thank you for having us. Definitely would recommend this place. We arrived at night so it was difficult to find a parking spot. The street is a one way street, so without a parking you need to be quick to load out your luggage from the car. But with the accommodation which was so nice I don't want to be to critical on this specific point.
- Julian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Arjen (9/5): Superb -
- Sarah (10/5): Lovely apartment. - Great location. Only a short walk from town.
- Anonymous (10/5): Relaxing - The property has a very nice finish and is decorated beautifully. I enjoyed my stay
- Maria (8/5): we had a nice time . - everything was clean and the area was very quiet and nice. the only thing was missing was a fridge , we had some staff to put in the fridge but wasn’t any , everything else was very beautiful and clean , also very beautiful design .
- James (10/5): Beautiful relaxation. - everything. absolutely everything. pictures don’t do the place justice nothing
