8/10
The positives - Martyn (the owner) was very friendly, very quick to respond to my questions (and came up to the unit to help with the washing machine). He allowed me into the unit a little earlier than I expected. The space was great, the pictures were accurate, the price was fair. The apartment had obviously been cleaned between renters, there was plenty of bedding and towels. The location was perfect, just steps away from the beach and lively George Street.The negatives - the apartment was clean, but it needed a "deep clean" eg cleaning of blades in vent fans, cleaning of cobwebs off of window openings in kitchen window. It really could do with an update/refurb in kitchen and bathrooms. I was not able to take a bath because the water drained faster than the very slow fill. Showering was difficult because it was glitchy and either too hot or too cold. We visited during a really hot period and there was no A/C so I spent the whole time feeling sticky (the owner could not have changed this). It really depends on your expectations. If you usually stay in Motel 6 type accommodation, this may be okay for you, and there's nothing wrong with that. I booked here, because it was pretty difficult to find accommodation in Hastings in summer. I generally like to stay in 4 or 5 star accommodation. Thus, it wasn't that comfortable for us, but it was decent for a budget place.Martyn was an absolute sweetheart and very accommodating. Location is perfect.
