Positive Reviews
positive:
Inexpensive apartments were roomy and comfy
Travellers said the apartments were straightforward but well-cleaned, well-equipped and more than adequately comfortable and spacious for a shorter stay. There was praise for the sea views from the lounges and families often said the apartments, which slept up to four guests, were well-suited for them. Due to the usually competitive rates, many budget-minded visitors said they got decent value for money.
positive:
Quiet and handy location with good transport links
These apartments in the North Shore area of Blackpool enjoyed a quiet location away from all the hustle and bustle of the heart of the town centre. However, it was still close enough to all the action to be convenient for holidaymakers and it was a doddle to walk to the seafront for the nearest bus and tram stops. The town centre was easily reached for shopping, dining, nightlife and railway stations. Motorists liked the way they could leave their car in the car park and explore the town on foot or using public transport.
positive:
Welcoming and pleasant hosts
The friendly and welcoming hosts reportedly fostered a relaxed atmosphere and had plenty of local knowledge for recommending places to eat and things to do.

Claims of minor flaws in some apartments
Critics noted minor flaws in some rooms like aging mattresses or bathrooms that were fairly small. Some travellers also struggled to successfully regulate the room temperature at times.
negative:
Mixed feelings about parking arrangements
Motorists were pleased there was free private parking. However, spare spaces were sometimes limited during busy periods, prompting some motorists to scour the surround area for alternative parking.
