  This property has so much potential to be perfect. It’s old but nice and cozy place Upon arrival we were not really sure if the place was clean or not. In the kitchen the surfaces were clean. Pots and baking trays were either dirty or not cleaned very well. We avoided using most of them and used only few pots we have cleaned before use. We also had to invest in new knife and vegetable peeler we left at the property afterwards because the original knives and peeler were so dull they were unusable. I would suggest getting rid of the cutlery that are partially plastic as dirt can get stuck in the crevices. Solid metal cutlery can be cleaned more thoroughly and easily. The kitchen would also benefit from being equipped with a broom and a dustpan. We had nothing we could use for sweeping the kitchen floor after cooking. There was a vacuum we could potentially use but the dirt collector compartment of it clearly hasn’t been emptied for some time. Bathroom, similarly as kitchen appeared clean on a first glance. The inside of the toilet is stained brown which has appeared as not cleaned but probably is only a result of over-time buildup that cannot be cleaned by regular cleaning anymore. The shower had water stains on the walls and mold-like stains in corners. We have found a cleaning solution in a cupboard, used it on the corners couple of times and it helped. The bedroom appeared to have fresh bedding that was neatly prepared for us. However we have found additional bedding thrown on the floor of housekeeper’s cupboard along with clean towels. The cupboard itself isn’t clean at all and contains some of the items that seemed to be withdrawn from use because of the state of them. The overhead lamp in the bedroom wasn’t working. We have reported it to the property management and they have reacted appropriately to the situation so I appreciate the friendly approach of the staff. We have spent some time sourcing power for the bedside table lamps provided as they were unplugged from their well hidden outlets.

  What an outstandingly beautiful little place to stay, went there during a road trip with my father and my dog. The flat is perfect for two persons, friends, family or a couple. It can be found right in the town centre, only three steps away from the beautiful beach and two pubs - can’t even decide which one was the best! We stayed here over the Easter holidays and the town was crowded and lively, an absolute bliss to mingle in the evenings and meet very friendly people. The whole town is very dog friendly and perfect for a stay with a four legged friend - they are even allowed into Sunday mass! The flat is absolutely lovely, very tidy and offers a full stuffed kitchen including a washing machine. When travelling by car, there are great opportunities for day trips, especially by taking the coastal route for example to Sandringham, the beautiful nature reserve of the Norfolk coast or in the other direction to Great Yarmouth. We clearly are considering coming back in the summertime!

  Our stay at this property was, the most disappointing experience we’ve had with an Airbnb. We encountered multiple serious issues that made our stay uncomfortable and, frankly, unacceptable. There was significant black mold in the property, which posed a health risk, especially as my girlfriend has asthma. The strong smell of mold permeated the space, and while a handyman was sent to treat it, the chemical odor that replaced it was just as unbearable. We found over 20 moths in the bedroom, and the downstairs area reeked of wet dog. It was clear that a dog had chewed the keychain, and there were cobwebs throughout the property, making it feel dirty and neglected. The kitchen utensils were rusting and filthy, requiring a thorough wash before we could use them. We decided to cut our stay short, and only got offers a refund on the night we skipped and 10% discount on the rest of the trip. I would encourage other guests to consider other options until the issues are resolved.

  parking in whole of scarborough is permit only, the place promises to provide a permit that will allow for parking outside the apartment. their only solution was to park in a carpark 10 minute walk away, and provide compensation up to £30 for a 3 night stay. it cost £36 to park for 3 nights. the apartment is up 3 flights of narrow and steep stairs which is not well advertised. anyone with mobility issues would not be able to access the apartment. there were marks on the duvet sheets and a large hole in the duvet cover, as-well as several smaller holes in some of the towels. the water pressure is very poor and the water is very cloudy, we purchased bottled water for drinking and only uses tap water for washing and boiling. the surrounding areas are beautiful and scarborough is a lovely place to visit with lots of dog friendly amenities. overall we did enjoy our visit through will not be returning nor booking through host and stay again

  8 minute walk to the open air theatre (reason we went in the first place), 12 minute walk to the beach. Light and airy interior, little touches like the tea/coffee/milk sachets which meant you could have a brew straight away if you had not taken your own stuff. We were in the top Flat (4th floor) so the stairs up were a bit emotional on the first day with all our stuff but when unencumbered they werent so bad. In the mornings the local seagulls had a group meeting on the roof and for a creature with small-ish feet they made a bit of a noise with all their scuttling about. Paradoxically, bearing in mind that we chose this location due to its proximity to the open air theatre, on subsequent nights we could hear the acts. Not deafening, sounded like a house party down the street kinda thing, but it ended between 22:00 - 22:30.
