Nice spacious flat. Small kitchen area but adequate. Easy access to seafront and some lovely places to run and walk. Short bus ride to Scarborough Centre with it's pubs, restaurants, theatres and other entertainment. Walking distance to some pubs serving good food and real ale, including the Cask where we went to a jazz evening and a quiz night.

Had to walk down fire escape stairs and out through back gate to get rid of rubbish. I can't think of a better solution as the flat is on the first floor.
Chandelier style lighting in living area was too bright. I was tempted to remove a couple of lamps but didn't. Perhaps install dimmer switch?

Convenient location. Warm and cosy.

Everything you need for a week stay.

Unfortunately the cleaners had not been in before we arrived. But this was quickly rectified after a phone call.

Location fantastic

No coat hangers in the hall/kitchen area
The extractor fan in bathroom is fitted wrongly and blows air inwards, therefore the bathroom remains damp. The towels coundn't dry.

The apartment was bigger than it looked, it had everything you needed. It was situated in a lovely part of Scarborough.
Couldn’t fault it in anyway, nice little touches , milk in the fridge and bathing products also.
I would stay again without a doubt.

Good location, clean.

Extremely annoyed to be charged extra money to cover possible damage. This was not in the headline price and we were asked for the money after the cancellation period. We have stayed in many holiday properties and never had the key withheld until we agreed to the extra charges.

The apartment is a fantastic space and very comfortable and it is in a great location.

The bathroom toilet had serious issues and a plumber had to be called out. The doorbell didn't work so the plumber had to contact Host and Stay to telephone us. After the plumber cleaned the soiled toilet that we discovered on arrival and repaired the flushing system we found that the bath plug mechanism didn't work so had to get a knife from the kitchen to pull the metal plug up. The kitchen sink area was stained as were all the mugs and the dining table. We contacted Host and Stay with regard to parking as it stated on my confirmation that free parking was possible nearby, no need to book. Host and Stay sent us the nearest public parking which we knew about anyway and used and paid for. When we got back to the apartment there were parking permits on top of the microwave in the kitchen. I had reams of emails from Host and Stay over the period we were there and when I put all of this in a quick email to them they sent a reply of best wishes. When I spoke to anyone at Host and Stay it sounded as if I was speaking to someone in a different country. It is such a lovely spacious comfortable place but there were maintainance and cleaning issues which I hope have now been dealt with.

The property was beautiful and very well maintained and developed with a classic style. The facilities were really good and the location was excellent, for what we needed. The main living areas were stylish and thankfully the heating was very efficient.

The bathroom was not very clean, in comparison with the rest of the property. The toilet did not flush properly. There were extra charges made by the company, which were not expected and should be made clear at the time of the booking rather than just before you are due to arrive.

The location was perfect and the apartment was lovely

I didn't like that the bins in the bedroom and bathroom still had rubbish in from the people who had been in there before us. I had to wash the crockery before use as it was far from clean and we had no light in the bathroom. We were also not advised that there would be parking permits even though I rang host and stay to check on parking they told me it is not available at the property so we paid for three nights parking only to walk in and find permits available. Host and stay charge a £25 non refundable deposit in the event of any incidents. On raising my issues with them I requested this back due to the problems we experienced, they have refused this saying I should have reported during our stay. I replied I don't want to spend my short break dealing with problems that should not have occurred in the first place. It is a shame because the apartment is ideal, but due to these issues and host and stays attitude I wouldn't book again.

The apartment was very spacious, clean and nicely dressed. Easy check in, great parking. Location, view of the sea to one side. Hosts were great and very attentive before and during my stay. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

These are tiny minor suggestions that may improve but wouldn't stop me staying here again.
Maybe a curtain or blind at the kitchen window, fitted sheets on the bed rather than flat sheets and possibly a mattress protector.
Heating was mildly difficult to work out but got it sorted.

The size of the apartment and the location. We like walking so there's plenty of that.

There were a couple of issues which Host and Stay are addressing as windows needed to open better. All in all a good stay. I paid extra to have damage waiver ...not sure this should be necessary.

The apartment was great. Perfect location with a sea view from a bay window, quiet neighbourhood, next to the South Cliff gardens. Easy to walk to the sea front and town centre. No problems parking our car on-street just outside, with parking permits provided. The rooms are large, and light, with the lounge and kitchen open plan. The apartment is furnished in a modern style, comfortable and very well equipped.

The location was absolutely amazing. Sea view, italian gardens close by, even the children playground area in the cliff gardens. I visited in march, and will definitely do my best to book this apartment in warmer months. Everything was clean, the beds were super comfortable. Me and my 8 year old daughter loved how many books and board games were available in the flat ( great bonus;)) .

Definitely recommend for an easy, chilled out vacation time.

Location was fabulous, just a 10 minute walk to the beach. Great views walking to the beach.
Apartment was home from home. Contemporary decorated and had everything you'd need. Liked the little luxury touches such as the soaps. Heating was very easy to use since we visited in Feb !

I wish there had been blinds on the windows. The living area/kitchen in particular. However livingroom did have curtains.

It’s one of the nicest flats I’ve ever stayed in, the host was more then helpful and the location is perfect if you want to be near shops and the promenade.
But also it’s a quit corner, which makes it even more enjoyable.

I strongly recommend this AirBnB!

The property was very clean and had a very homely feel to it, we all settled in straight away. the view out the living room was great, we could see the sea. The beds were very comfortable.
Thought the property was in a great location and was in easy walk of the sea front and access to town and enjoyed our walks down to the sea front.
We had no problem parking either.
would definitely stay here again and would recommend to family and friends.

Nothing to dislike.

Excellent property in a perfect location with a sea view. Central for everything we needed. Modern, clean apartment with excellent communication from host all the way from booking to arrival

Nothing, except, very small point, possibly a.slightly bigger.fridge (probably as the weather was so hot therefore we had lots of cold drinks and water to store). But this is the only.very minor point, no other negatives at all

We went with 3 adults, two small children and a dog, the lookout was great, super position with great sea views, very quiet neighbourhood, next to the south cliff gardens and Spa, easy parking just outside the house and another car we had just parked free all week on the front 100 yards away. The rooms are large and a nice newish kitchen, the apartment is tastefully modern with good Wi-Fi and TV. Fridge was on the small side. Would definitely book the Lookout again.

very clean and comfortable with everything you could ask for. great location

would have helped if we could have checked in earlier. we had a booking for later that evening and having travelled 2 hours to get there it was a lot of waiting around and then a rush. Would have helped if we could have just left our bags and put the car parking pass on to leave the car.

Mixed feelings about our stay!
Pros:
- Fabulous location
- Good parking
- Modern stylish space

Cons:
- Abysmal communication- the owners aren’t the ones communicating via air bnb, it’s run by a third party. This means when you have issues (as we did), they don’t get solved.
- You can hear the above neighbours very clearly. We could even hear snoring coming from upstairs
- No door on the kitchen/living area. Poor for pets if you want to keep your dogs in the kitchen

Large clean apartment, very well equipped with good quality stuff. Close to the coastal path leading down to the beach etc. lots of street parking with permit provided. Good email & text comms however no human contact (which we prefer ha). Overall quite impressed, not the cheapest however as we all know “you get what you pay for”

I could be very picky however there really is nothing worthy of mentioning. It’s a good place.

Lovely apartment, clean, tidy and great location. Very modern with everything you need.

You will need to take toilet roll and black bags as only one of each provided - which isn’t sufficient for a family of three.

Unfortunately not as relaxing as we would have hoped due to the flat above being rented out to three workmen, who played music till late and then awake at 5am. When the shower above is on…and moving (Website hidden by Airbnb) very loud at 5am. I guess it is totally pot luck on who else rents out the apartment above.
