"The host was absolutely fantastic and I couldn’t have asked for any more. Apartment was well equipped and considering being in the middle of all the bars and clubs was very well sound insulated. I would recommend to family’s that this is in the middle of a busy nightlife part of Liverpool so may not be suitable for young children. But workers/couples or friends it’s absolutely ideal for being in the centre. Thank you so much :) Sam"
"As a lifelong fan from the states, I couldn’t have gotten luckier when choosing a place to stay for my first match experience at Anfield. Ali was very kind and welcoming as soon as I got there and throughout my stay. Next time I’ll have to bring the miss and my brothers. YNWA!"
"Unable to use Shower and sink in main bathroom due to poor drainage, which caused water to over flow/flooding. Sofa bed broken. No clothes rail in wardrobe. Not enough seating in living room or crockery (had to buy some cups) Bedding and towels clean and property was warm Close to city centre and check in/out easy. Perhaps better suited to hen parties rather than families."

Review: Wonderful stay! Accommodation was very clean, well equipped and lovely and warm after a day walking in the rain! Food was great and staff very attentive. Wonderful views, very peaceful and the cabana was a bit different which the kids loved especially going up the ladder to bed.

Review: "This is a unique community run establishment with a lovely atmosphere. The room was good value, functional and had a great view. The evening meals were excellent, although not available every evening, being out of season. I had booked with breakfast included but it wasn't been served in November. This is understandable being the quiet time of year but I would have liked to have known in advance since there is nowhere else to eat in the village and only a basic little shop. It would be worth...
