Good location in Cowes.
The location was central to shops and eateries. The unit was quite spacious for 2 people. The kitchen was well equiped with everything in working order. There was no insect screen on the balcony door which was disappointing. The unit receives the westerly afternoon sun but he 2 air con units worked well as we had a very hot few days in Cowes. There was very little room on the bathroom vanity to leave often-used toiletries. The undercover car space was very tight for our medium sized SUV. The complex was secure with locked gates and doors. We supplied our own linen, towels, bathmat, hand towels, and tea towel to save money on the booking.

Reviewer Comments:
There was a disgusting smell throughout the apartment which appeared to be coming from the bathroom. The mattress seemed very old and uncomfortable. Have stayed in this apartment before and it was not as bad on previous stay. The apartment had not been cleaned appropriately there was dirt on the floor and hair throuothe bathroom.

Apartment was great for a couple, very big. You could probably fit 2 more and use the couch beds in the living room. Apartment and complex in general was really clean. Great location and such good value for money.
