Location was perfect, right in the middle of everything! <br/>Most of the property was clean and tidy! <br/>Lots of natural light in the living room. <br/>Top floor bedroom was nice. <br/>Not much street noise thankfully.<br/><br/>All windows were dirty and needed a clean. <br/>Blinds in the windows also needed a clean or replacing (the ones in the downstairs room didn't keep out much light). <br/>2/4 chairs at the table were unusable as the legs were loose or broken. <br/>Musty smell as you go up the stairs and in the living room. <br/>Tight parking space; if you wished to leave the key in the lockbox rather than risk losing it out and about its a very tight squeeze to keep locking it away.

Terrific location for access to the vibrant pedestrian center of Canterbury, including the cathedral. The host is very proactive with communication; I especially appreciated the clear information ahead of time that the parking space is indeed quite small. I rented a small car based on that (a Fiat 500) and it fit perfectly - a larger car absolutely wouldn't have. The place itself does have rather thin floors, so if you're a group you'll hear the others in your group moving about on other levels, but that wasn't anything too distracting. Overall, it's clean, uncluttered, and was a great base for the area. We loved staying there and will hope to stay there again in the future!

The central location and how quiet it was too. Bed comfy.<br/><br/>One shower stuck on very hot, more furniture in bed room would have been good.

The apartment was unclean, but hairs in the bed was totally unacceptable. We had to spend a whole day fighting for a refund. At first was told that a refund was impossible. We lost one whole day of our holiday trying to get this company to do the right thing. Never again.<br/>What’s even more concerning is AirBNB said I could qualify for a refund as the pictures of someone else’s hairs inside the bed, all over the sheets wasn’t eligible!

The location was superb, could not fault it. The parking space was also a strong plus point. I would have awarded 5 stars as we felt the price we paid was good for a place in the location, however lower stars were because the property was a little tired and there were small things that could easily have been done to get the higher star rating. Communication with the host company was good.<br/><br/>You are asked to turn the heating down as you leave but it could have been turned up when the cleaners left so that the place was warm on arrival. It was an extremely cold period when we visited. One radiator in the lounge was not working at all, host company informed. Small niggles: Hairdryer provided was great but only two mirrors both in bathrooms where there are (obviously) no power points to plug in, mirror in the bedroom would solve this. Oven could do with a deep clean although we ate out so did not use it. Talked to the host company about these and other niggles all could easily be rectified.

The apartment is large. However, even before we arrived we had problems. Firstly, the managing company charges a non-refundable security deposit fee of £25. Upon arrival, we had a series of problems, which were reported immediately, without having any solution. The heating does not work on all radiators and is complicated to handle. But the worst of all was that the toilet in the main room did not work properly and neither did the shower in the individual room. In the end, the reality is that the flat has a just one full bathroom: the shower on the second floor and the toilet on the ground floor. We immediately contacted the administrators, who told us that they would come but they never arrived. The next day it was the same. This prevented us from enjoying the city, since we were left waiting for the bathrooms to be repaired. A disaster. In addition to that, the bathroom on the ground floor has stains and the sheets also had stains and hair.

Bra läge<br/><br/>Disken var smutsig, toaletten gick inte att spola på övervåningen och duschen på nedervåningen funkade inte. Det blev också lätt stopp i diskhon, ena spisplattan funkade inte. Fläckar på lakanen. Lyhört. Vi försökte höra av oss till värden men fick inget svar.

The best thing about this property is its location in the heart of Canterbury. There are countless cafes, pubs and restaurants within a short walking distance. There are beautiful gift shops, parks, rivers and of course, the impressive Canterbury cathedral all within easy reach.<br/><br/>The apartment itself is well equipped but the decor is a little tired. The carpets would be better replaced by vinyl flooring that isn't affected by muddy footprints. We hadn't realised that the kitchen/living room are on the middle floor with the first bedroom on the ground floor and the second bedroom on the top floor. Both bedrooms have their own shower and toilet.

vi hade en fin vistelse i Canterbury, lägenheten fungerade bra för oss tre. Vi sov bara i lägenheten. I beskrivningen stod det att det var nyrenoverat men det var nog något år sedan men allt var helt okej. Lägenheten ligger centralt och det var ett stort plus och även om det ligger mitt i centrum var det tyst och lungt. ett bättre boende går nog inte att hitta. Vi är helnöjda och om vi återkommer så bor vi gärna här igen.

location excellent; relatively quiet and central<br/><br/>(1) The downstairs shower did not work. Although the management responded promptly and let us know that the electrician had been called, he did not in fact arrive during the stay, the shower remained unusable and there was then no follow up from the management. (2) 2 of the chairs in the living room were defective and unsafe.

we visited Canterbury for King's Week and this place could not have been better located. Aside from the Malthouse Theatre, everything on the program for King's was an easy 3-5 minute walk away from this apartment. The hosts were proactive and professional and we enjoyed our stay.

Excellent location, roomy, great common area, good plumbing, good lighting, good seating<br/><br/>Ventilation on both the first floor and the third floor is not great. The first floor mattress could be a little more supportive.

My family and I enjoyed our stay. It’s got everything we need ?and accommodating when we have issues with the clogged toilet. I love the location and proximity to the Canterbury city center; a very charming city, I may say. I recommend this place!

Property was very useful for our two week stay in Canterbury. Excellent location and great kitchen. <br/>However, bedsheets were stained upon arrival. Would have also been nice to have a vacuum/brush to keep the house clean during our stay. <br/>Finally, we were alarmed to recieve a letter from the council stating that the landlord owed a large sum of money in unpaid council tax. The letter also threatened that bailiffs could enter the property at any time and sieze possessions. When we contacted BlueFox about this, they were very receptive and assured us the issue would be dealt with. Regardless, the uncertainty surrounding this impacted our enjoyment of the stay.

Super location! Walkable from the train station, right in the old town too. We were really happy to have a comfy flat in Canterbury for the weekend with our family. Instead of a hotel room we had space to relax at the end of a long day sight seeing, and there were a fantastic selection of films on offer integrated into the TV service. Thanks for having us!

Fantastic spot in the centre of the old city. We didn't need to use our car at all

Anthony

The place is nice and fairly quiet for a city centre stay. However there is illegal parking with no enforcement on a constant basis in the narrow street that makes using the carport with anything other than the smallest car a challenge. Also taxis generally will drop you a little way away from the house for the same reason.

Great location, clean and comfortable apartment. Would recommend for anyone visiting Canterbury for a trip!
