9.0 / 10.0
Apartment was spacious, clean, comfortable and warm. Well equipped it had everything we needed for a short stay. Location overlooking the river was lovely, although traffic noise was a little intrusive.
Central location was very convenient.
Whilst the apartment was lovely, the logistics of finding it and then getting in were a nightmare. Even with Google maps, the location proved very tricky to locate by car. Some indication of road signs once in Durham would be useful.
Secondly we were told to use particular numbered parking bay, this was in use by another car.
Thirdly, the keys didn't work and we had to phone for assistance, which came promptly. But the locks to the street door had been changed, confusion reigned.

Location was near enough to Durham centre to walk to many locations. Quiet area.
Cooker was not easy to work out. Although many eating places nearby so didn't need to use it

Comfortable and well equipped for a family of four.
We arrived in the dark and finding the door and parking space could have used a clearer description or exact map pins.

Comfortable and modern apartment and very handy location for station and city. Helpful communication.
Only suggestion is that it would be helpful to have 2 front door keys.

Location was really convenient. The apartment is very spacious and comfortable and is well presented, with a great shower. It's well equipped. There is off road parking which was very useful.
Two things need to be fixed: the automatic gate to get into the car park doesn't work properly. And the TV in the living room was very temperamental.

Location was fantastic and the bathrooms were amazing!
I'd definitely return!
We could have done with a bit more guidance on getting into the parking spot. Couldn't find the flat number at the start and ending up blocking the road.
Single beds have big dips in them, feel like they would have been really comfy if they were flat like the double bed.
And TV in the evening is very limited. Luckily I had brought a hdmi lead so we watched a dvd. No lead otherwise to use the player.

The location was excellent and couldn't have been bettered for a stay in Durham, with lovely riverside views. The beds and living room seating were all very comfortable and the heaters took off the March chill nice and quickly.
Neither the bathroom nor ensuite had working extractor fans, which made them steamy and damp. The ensuite had no bath mat and the floor of the shower and main room were slippery with no grab rails. It felt very unsafe. Also, the ensuite had nowhere to put toiletries while in the shower.
This is just a small suggestion, but it would have been nice if there had been a pint of milk in the fridge - we arrived after a long journey and had to immediately go out to the shops before we could have a restorative cup of tea!

The apartment was in an excellent location, easy to get to by road and then park up and leave the car for the duration of our stay. The parking space was secure and close to our apartment. The key was exactly where it was described as being. Once inside, the kitchen was well appointed and the bathrooms very nice. There was plenty of space in the bedrooms for storage. The living and dining areas were a bonus and one of the reasons we had chosen this apartment for our stay. The temperature and ability to adjust it was great.
We arrived at the time arranged to find the apartment had not been cleaned or tidied. Thankfully the keys came with a letter containing telephone numbers for emergencies. A text was sent (as instructions requested) and a response received very quickly. The cleaners arrived about 20 minutes later. A broken down vehicle was given as the reason for the delay. We went out and came back to a very clean and tidy apartment.
I think I was just as shocked by the state some people leave their holiday accommodation in as I was walking in to find it.
The single beds were very soft and uncomfortable. Closer inspection suggests that at the very least the base units need replacing. Both of these beds had a foam topper and a thin cover over the mattress possibly as a way of making the beds more comfortable. They didn't work. I did not have a good nights sleep during my stay.

Excellent location
Superb facilities and contents
Very clean, spacious and modern
Helpful host
Noisy with windows open (due to location) - hot with windows closed (due to warm weather)
Would have liked a fan and also an anti slip mat for the showers
Would have liked to have had better instructions for entering and leaving through the remote operated gates

The location was excellent. Well equipped apartment. Clean. Parking on site.
Some aspects of the flat were disappointing considering what they were charging. Tiles in bathroom need re grouting, none of the clocks work, twin beds not comfortable, no information about recycling, oven instructions were not clear, holes in twin bedroom, lift not working, information to guests was inadequate. We even had the owners try and enter the apartment before we checked out.
Most annoying was that the parking sensor did not work, and only discovered this after keys were left inside.

The bedroom was steamed after using the bathroom as fan in bathroom was not working. Lift was not working. Needed a second key as we were not joined at the hip. Information on key collection was last minute just before travelling despite being told this woul happen the day before.
