Guests say
Apartment 4 in Stoke-on-Trent offers a beautifully furnished space with a friendly and responsive host. While some guests found the apartment warm and the beds uncomfortable, others appreciated the amenities provided for a pleasant stay. The proximity to a main road and a police station may affect noise levels.
The apartment was generally found to be nice, but one review suggested it could use a bit more cleaning. No other specific comments on cleanliness were provided.
The location is on a main road opposite a police station, which has led to noise complaints due to traffic and sirens. However, no comments were made on the convenience of the location in relation to local amenities or attractions.
Guests have reported that the beds are uncomfortable and feel narrower than standard doubles. The apartment also became quite warm, with no fans available, which affected the comfort level during a warm week.
The apartment is said to be well-furnished but with some shortcomings. There were issues with the bathroom flooding, a lack of linen and towels upon arrival, and a need for more kitchen utilities. No mention of maintenance issues beyond these points.
There were no mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the host. Therefore, this score cannot be assessed.

It was a nice stay for our group of 4, it had what we needed but could do with a few more pots, pans and other kitchen utilities and the apartment didnt feel 100% finished. Could use a bit more cleaning otherwise a nice place to stay (Apartment 4)
