The Vizion serviced apartments from Pincott Properties - free parking, private balcony, and WiFi

The apartment was very comfortable and good location. Had everything needed and host was very responsive

The master bed mattress wasn't great had to get a topper or duvet laid on it as could feel all the springs. Windows needed a good clean

Great location, free parking for 1 car. Well equipped & clean facilities, communicative staff & concierge.

Everyone & everything was good.

The location is perfect for longer stays and visits to Oxbridge, Blenheim, Stratford, and Bletchley.

No blackout blinds in bedroom.

The location is very central to everything in Milton Keynes and close to a large Sainsbury's supermarket and lots of restaurants within walking distance. The apartment is accessed via the rooftop garden but does not look over the garden. It has a view to the west out towards the countryside (although there is a parking lot in the foreground). Claire was extremely helpful in getting us an early check in after a transatlantic flight and was there to meet us with the keys and parking pass as promised. She was very responsive to all my questions and a pleasure to correspond with. The bed was very comfortable. The balcony doors can be opened to get fresh air but some traffic noise comes along with that. Having a washer/dryer is a plus but the dryer does not dry the clothes, it just spins them to get a few more drops of water out of them. It's best to use the washer then put them on the drying racks that are provided, or on the radiators if the heating is on. There is a nice large TV in the living area with lots of viewing options including BBC iplayer. The heated towel rail in the bathroom is a nice feature.

The apartment was not as clean as I would have expected. I had to go round with disinfecting wipes and wipe down the top of the waste bin in the bathroom, the fan in the bedroom, the handles on the kitchen cabinets and the microwave. The microwave felt greasy. The fan and the waste bin had not been cleaned in a while since there was a thick layer of dust on both. I noticed as we were leaving that the bluetooth speaker was also covered in congealed dust. I even cleaned some spatter marks off the walls and washed the plastic plant next to the bed because it didn't look clean. I found a long black hair (not mine) down the side of the bed. The bedroom carpet had not been vacuumed so I had to do that too. In general the appliances are on the well-used side. The stove top would benefit from a deep clean with a glass top stove cleaner. It has cooking deposits from past tenants all over it. All the stainless steel areas, like the backsplash behind the stove, the faucets, the kitchen sink, the soap dispenser in the bathroom, were all horribly streaky after being "cleaned". Again some stainless steel cleaner would give a more polished and welcoming appearance to the apartment. There are not a lot of plates/cutlery etc provided and one plate and one bowl had a chip in them. The towels are thin and we were only provided with one set for a week's stay (Claire did say to let her know if we needed more but it would be better to just provide an extra set), and one tiny bar of soap and a minimum of toiletries. The apartment could benefit from some hooks to hang coats on, and hooks near the shower to hang your bath towel on so it's near to hand. The accommodation is overall about equivalent to a 3 star but could be improved with some simple upgrades and additional care and attention given to proper cleaning and details.
