Dog-Friendly Basement Apartment with Garden - Southsea, Portsmouth #26a♡

Would certainly stay again.

Excellent location close to the seafront. During our stay there was a heatwave and the basement position of the flat meant we stayed cool. The owners are very responsive to any questions or requirments.

− Some noise when people upstairs walk around but guess this should be expected in an older building.

All of it, in the heart of Portsmouth everything was less than 5/10 minutes away. My dog loved it

− There wasn't nothing I didn't like

The apartment was spotlessly clean and the bed very comfortable. Everything we needed in the kitchen area, exceptionally big bedroom.

− A set of very steep steps leading down to the basement (about 7 or 8) which became extremely slippy as it rained heavily. Found the parking awkward as we couldn't get a space in front of the apartment and had to leave the car in the next street, however we were given a parking permit so didn't have to pay anything.

− We initially booked this accommodation due to it's location and including parking , also importantly to us a garden/court yard for our small dog .. Upon arrival - we were informed by host that parking was not outside the property but intact on another street not near the property. When we entered the property we immediately saw ants on the kitchen /dining room floor to which we removed. We then let our dog out into the courtyard which was not in fact as advertised and very unsuitable for him. Please see attached photos . We stayed for one night out of two and had to leave the following morning as the ants had returned making it an unsuitable stay. We contacted the host and asked for a refund for the night we never stayed giving the reasons why . The host replied and was very apologetic and informed us that they were unable to refund the money and had to go through booking.com . We contacted booking.com who then informed us they had to get written authority from the host to refund the money. Further contact from booking.com was that the host had refused to authorise the refund . Despite having the evidence we were both very unsatisfied with the property, the host and booking.com

Thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend
