Location was excellent. Size of the property was incredible - so spacious! Beds were very comfortable. Parking. Living / dining space meant that 5 of us didn’t have to ‘live on top of each other’. Communication with owner was excellent, this includes the list of instructions that I received prior to check-in.

− More than one glass flute had lipstick stains on them so those and some plates needed a quick clean before being used. Honestly not too much of an issue though. It also would have been great to have had a spare tea towel and some antibac wipes/ spray so that we could spray down the kitchen area and dining table after we had used them. Shower heads could do with a bit of an update/ deep clean as they have limescale built up on them.

Close location to Windsor Castle, restaurants and convenience stores. Very spacious accommodation Quiet, secure location Access to variety of TV channels Clear instructions for access

− No blinds on doors to patio with blinding westerly sun streaming in. The pictures on Booking.com must have been taken when it was new. It’s dated and worn and didn’t live up to pictures on the listing. Cleanliness was an issue. Carpets are stained and the common stairwell is putrid. Some maintenance required. Door handle to the apartment is very loose.

A very conveniently located apartment for visiting Windsor, but shame about the windows!

The host, Jeremy, was very helpful prior to our visit as he sent through all the access information in advance and agreed for us to park at the property prior to check-in time. The apartment is very spacious, in a great location (with shops/restaurants in easy walking distance), with well equipped kitchen and the beds were comfortable.

− Our biggest annoyance was that we were unable to open the twin bedroom window, which made it very uncomfortable to sleep in 30+ degrees during the recent heatwave. I messaged Jeremy to raise this but got no response. It looked like the frame had been varnished and stuck shut, so has probably been an issue for some time. There were some fans provided but one of which didn't work. They could also really do with a blind on the large kitchen window because the evening sun comes streaming in from the balcony and it's uncomfortably bright when your trying to eat dinner at the dining table. A couple of minor points were some spot light bulbs needed replacing in the kitchen/dining/living area, the shower was draining slowly and the toaster was a bit temperamental.
