- Nelson (5/5): - Convenience Noise from.nearby neighbours
- Victorita Laura (10/5): -
- Glenn (1/5): Avoid !! - Nothing Everything, smells of smoke mouldy with stains on pillows and bed no pillow protection oven was filthy cupboard doors hanging off it certainly does not represent the listing and booking. Com refused my refund I did not stay and paid out for a Travelodge for my stay in Ipswich I wish I could upload all of the awful images of this place and as I seasoned travelling contractor this is by far the worst place I have seen avoid at all costs .
- FILIPE SANTOS (9/5): - Was not good place full off working girls will never is place was don’t recommend is place

- Teofil (1/5): Insects all around - The apartment is not the one shown in the pictures…dirty place,dirty building…very disappointed.
- Vanessa (7/5): -
- Lindsay (1/5): Actual cockroaches. Dirty, cold, refused to stay. - Booked as it was close to town. Couldn't stay there so didn't make any difference. After booking I messaged and called the manager for details on how to access the property but no answer. After arriving I finally got hold of him to let me in. The heating was off so it was freezing.
At first glance it looks OK, with most issues being things I'd usually be willing to overlook for the location and price.
But after spotting the first (and then second and third) cockroach on the walls you start to look closer. Aside from the cockroaches (which is a deal breaker anyway), there are cobwebs, cockroach droppings, mystery marks on the carpet and curtains, the fridge, microwave, and kettle were all dirty, the smoke detector was covered, and most of the advertised facilities weren't there... Not even a towel for the bathroom. I didn't have the courage to check the bed.
I refused to stay but of course when I tried to contact the manager there was no answer, I've still not had a reply from him. Booking.com have also been pretty useless so I've not even been able to get my money back despite not staying.
I wish I was exaggerating, but check the pictures (turns out I can only upload 4 which is a shame as I have loads) and book anywhere else.
- Stephen (8/5): Good location, nice & quiet, when the above is dealt with it'll be a convenient place to stay - Acc only No hot water it hadn't been set. No vacuum cleaner so I couldn't hover. And for a new renovation I was surprised to find a small quantity of brown beetles mostly around the cooking area, I hoped they were 't roaches!
- Procopio (7/5): -
- Eli (2/5): - Location close to the centre There were fleas and ticks! Strong and not very clean cigarette smell
- Mr Enakeno Ogri (1/5): - This property is a fraudulent property, and i have advice on Booking.com to remove them from their services. They're thieves operating this property, targeting customers to pay reservation and no access to the property does not exist My advice is that the Police are investigating this property on booking.com. Please avoid any booking to this property
- Batista Queiroz (10/5): -
- Stewart (6/5): - The property was very convenient for all venues in the town centre. It was spacious and moderately well equipped.
It was very quiet with no disturbance from the flats above.
Other residents were friendly and helpful The 2 rather cramped wet rooms did not match the images of modern shower rooms shown on the website.
The private parking in the central courtyard was very cramped and difficult to manouvre in if there was more than 3 or 4 cars in the yard.
When we did try to contact the host the response was rather slow.

The place is absolutely filthy I’ve come home and I’m covered in bites! The “clean” bedding …… well one pillow was stained yellow! There was no tv in the room I had to ask for one! There is no cooking facilities really no kettle 1 plate 1 cup! The smell is disgusting! He stated there was parking when I arrived there is room for 3 maybe 4 cars the rest have to park outside in a ticketed location! I would strongly recommend NOT STAYING HERE
- Salazar (9/5): Maravilhosa - Tudo bom

- Adrian (1/5): Bad -
- Mihai (1/5): Bad -
- Mark (1/5): Very poor - Not a lot Poor facility bedding dirty,carpets dirty didn’t stay one night. Work force won’t stay there.
- Anton (6/5): Pleasant -
- Marsel (1/5): Bad -
- N (1/5): I’m feeling sick from being so cold - Close city centre The house is very cold and we have no support to the guests.
- Thomas (1/5): Bad - I arrived at the property at 12 and didn’t get checked in til 2:15 The electricity went off all day on the Saturday and I had no hot water for a shower I messaged the host only to be ignored
- Hannah (5/5): Passable -
- Oluwafemi (4/5): The environment is unclean, insecure, host is quite tricky. - The property I paid for is not what I got.
- Christopher (5/5): Passable -
- Pak (3/5): Poor -
- Simon (1/5): Bad - Nothing Shit hole
- Amanda (2/5): We thought this would be a good place to stay for the plans we had. The overal condition of the accommodation was extrem - The oven and microwave were clean. There was a lack of cutlery/ crockery
The sofa bed in the sitting room had a wooden block holding it up.
The shower and bathroom sink sealant was all black mould.
There were wires hanging out sockets. The beds were old and saggy. There was a toddler bed (with no bedding) for my 11 year old son.
We were provided with bedding for the sofa bed after we had bought a sleeping bag.
I sent a message to the owner on our second night stating that this wasn’t what we booked. I got a reply 5 days later, after we got home saying I had seen the owner during our stay and why hadn’t we complained directly. (I don’t remember seeing him after our first night).
I understand if you own several properties that they may all be differently decorated but the difference between the photos online and our reality were completely opposite.
Our bedrooms were above the main entry door. There were people coming and going all night. The door slammed every time and the entry system was extremely loud.
My son was chatting with someone who lived there and was told most of the accommodation is temporary for people waiting to be housed permanently.
One night we were woken with the police breaking down a main door and another morning the police were banging on a door shouting at someone about a welfare check.
As a family we felt vulnerable and as a result spent as little time in the accommodation as possible.
(The photos I have attached are of the accommodation in general and not what was written below.)

- Sean (7/5): Will be complaining and asking for part refund was not due for purpose - It was dirty,mouldy lack of anything other than food smells…. How dirty and mouldy it was, stains on the carpets, exposed wires everywhere, flooring coming up in bathroom.
The toilet was so close to the shower unit that you had to sit diagonally on the seat.

- Strawson (3/5): Stayed at apartment no 7 - The only thing was it was within walking distance to the shopping hub The building is in disrepair and dirty. The "apartment " was more like a room with a bathroom. The pictures were nothing like what it was. The shower did not go into the attachment above you so it had to be hand held. There was mould on the curtains and the walls by the windows and the windows did not stay open on their own. It is noisy with people having no consideration and letting doors slam. The bed looked like it was just thrown together and I had to wait for someone to bring my keys I had previously tried numerous times to contact the landlord with no response before I came. The one door had no glass in it it so you could just walk through the door this is a security issue.
- Perlita (9/5): Superb - Well I like the apartment, clean and quiet area
- Chris (8/5): Very helpful host - fantastic location - The host was very helpful with any problems and within walking distance to the town centre.

- Chris (8/5): Very good - The host was very helpful and fast to respond
- Chris (8/5): Very good - The host rectified a problem with the TV in 30 mins - very good service
- Chris (6/5): Pleasant - The surroundings were a tip - bin bags everywhere and ceilings falling down.
- Chris (5/5): Passable - The general condition of the room is good Hard to get hold of the landlord when you have a problem with the electricity is going off due to a charge meter that he didn't top-up. The area around the apartment has rubbish and junk everywhere
- Chris (7/5): Room is nice, landlord very poor communication - The landlord is hard to reach, doesn't pick up the phone, the electric went off because he didn't charge the meter even though he was told it need doing 12 hours before it ran out via app, text and email.
The area outside the room is very rough.

- James (1/5): vile, uncomfortable and unresponsive owners avoid avoid avoid - nothing dirty
outside was horrid and scary
- Chris (7/5): Nice apartment but the surroundings are shabby looking - The room was modern and clean. The address was confusing as it only mentions the flat number and not the block. The flat was on a paid electric meter controlled by the landlord and ran out twice - the first time he did not reply to my text or answer his phone so I was without electricity for several hours.
