"We really enjoyed our stay at old harbour view."
The location of the property and view of the harbour is fabulous although a little noisy but this was easily solved by a pair of ear plugs. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. The accommodation would benefit from having a shower in the main bathroom.

"We spent a week at Old Harbour view in May 2022."
The property is centrally located with plenty of pubs, restaurants, shops, the theatre, just a short walk away. Unfortunately the downside of a central location is that it can be quite noisy at night. Inebriated young people in the early hours, that sort of thing, especially Friday and Saturday nights. A pair of ear plugs might be a good idea. The views are amazing, there's always something going on. The apartment itself is spacious and very comfortable, with everything you need for your stay. It's décor is minimalistic with mainly black furniture, although I have to say that some of the furniture has seen better days. One of my main worries about this apartment were the reviews about problems with the size of the parking spaces. Nothing could be further from the truth, the parking bays were more than adequate and I had absolutely no problems parking my Qashqai. I would thoroughly recommend this apartment.

"Everything was amazing apart from very uncomfortable beds for the children/twin room."
And the nightclub which was open until 2am on Weds, 3AM on Thurs and 4AM on Friday (the 3 nights of our stay). The nightclub doors are literally 20 meters from the apartment and are open for most of the night. That coupled with the large amount of shouting, foul language, singing and fighting below the bedroom windows i am upset that it is not mentioned in the description of the property. At £200 per night the main thing you have accommodation for is to rest after a day exploring the area. As a family we were more exhausted when we left than before our short relaxing break. On Saturday morning the noise finally subsided at 4.45am and we had to vacate by 10am, not the best preparation for a long drive home. However if you are a clubber its is a beautiful apartment with absolutely everything you need for a great centralised stay.

"The boiler is in the twin bedroom where my daughter slept and there is a CO2 alarm which has a green flashing light right by her head when she laid in bed so she didn't get much sleep."
It would have been nice to have a shower over the bath in the main bathroom. When I flushed the toilet in the en-suite it was very loud in the twin room which was right next to it, also the fan in there, so if I went to the loo in the night I had to use my torch and remember not to flush the toilet. The alarm at Prezzo went off very early in the morning on 2 nights of our stay when they were having deliveries. It was also very noisy at the weekend when the bar across the road turned out. Apart from that the flat was in a good position in the town and the parking was great. It would be ideal for a couple who did not need to use the twin room.

"I had to clean the skirting board in the en suite sweet bathroom on arrival, and the fruit bowl had dust in it."
The en suite bathroom had no cotton bath mat with anti slip backing and as I came out of the shower I slipped and fell. This is a health and safety issue. I had a very bruised foot for the rest of the holiday

"We have used this apartment several times and enjoy the wonderful views."
The spacious car parking is a great advantage.
We were disappointed that the price for the same week next year is £500 more expensive.

"What a fantastic apartment."
So beautifully clean and everything you would want was supplied. The location was perfect for us, from the car parking, to lounge, the well stock with appliances kitchen, to the comfort of the beds.
The view over the old harbour was simply brilliant.
The parking space was both welcome and secure. A massive benefit in this busy town.
THANK YOU.

"The website said the apartment had a dishwasher and it didn’t!"
We thought the Rendezvous opposite was just a pub and not a nightclub open until 4 am on the weekend. There was a lot of noise from the music and drunken people and shouting. Also, felt a bit unsettled that the key that unlocked the door to the apartment also unlocked the main door into the apartment block which meant that all apartments who had a key to the main door had access to our apartment.

"Just a couple of little things."
Could do with oven gloves because we had to use the tea towel when using the oven. Also some tongs to turn sausages for instance.

"Excellent location with all important car parking, although not suited to large vehicle, as noted on the accommodation listing."
Access was very easy from the car park with both stairs and a lift.
Its location was easy to find and with it being in the town, a few minutes walk from the beach and no hills to negotiate, it was ideal.
Although the location was in the vibrant Old Harbour, we were not really disturbed by any undue noise, the apartment seems to be pretty well insulated from extraneous noise.
The apartment was well presented with most things available. Very spacious rooms and benefited from 2 bathrooms.
Two suggested improvements -
1) My wife would have appreciated a wall mirror in the bedrooms to allow her to do her hair and makeup etc. - found it a bit of a struggle.
2) TV stations were very limited, could benefit from more channels - not everybody goes pubbing and clubbing 'til wee hours. Also, a TV in the bedrooms would be a nice touch.
Overall, would recommend the apartment
