Neighborhood
Brighton, a vibrant and eclectic city on England’s south coast, is renowned for its lively atmosphere, diverse culture, and stunning seafront. Known as “London by the Sea,” Brighton attracts visitors with its blend of bohemian spirit and modern amenities. The iconic Brighton Palace Pier is a major draw, offering traditional seaside fun with rides, arcades, and food stalls. Stretching along the shoreline is the bustling Brighton Beach, complete with colourful beach huts and pebbled shores, making it a prime spot for sunbathing, swimming, or enjoying fish and chips by the water.
The Royal Pavilion, a striking example of Regency architecture with its exotic, Indian-inspired domes and opulent interiors, stands as a testament to the city’s unique history and royal connections. Surrounding the Pavilion, visitors can explore the Pavilion Gardens, which offer a tranquil escape amid the buzz of the city centre.
Brighton’s renowned shopping districts, the North Laine and The Lanes, cater to those seeking unique and independent shops, boutiques, vintage treasures, and art galleries. The North Laine is especially known for its vibrant street art and alternative flair, while The Lanes charm with their narrow, winding alleys filled with jewellery stores, cafes, and restaurants.
Food lovers will find a diverse culinary scene, from innovative plant-based eateries to high-end dining and international cuisine. Brighton's commitment to sustainability and local produce is reflected in its popular food markets and eco-friendly cafes.
The city’s nightlife is legendary, boasting a wide range of pubs, cocktail bars, and nightclubs, as well as venues showcasing live music and theatre performances. Events such as the Brighton Festival, Brighton Fringe, and the annual Brighton Pride, one of the UK's largest LGBTQ+ celebrations, contribute to its reputation as a city that champions inclusivity and creativity.
Surrounded by the scenic South Downs National Park, Brighton provides both the excitement of city life and the serenity of the countryside, making it an appealing destination for travellers seeking a mix of adventure and relaxation.

Getting Around
Brighton is well-connected and accessible, making travel to and around the city straightforward, whether by train, coach, or car. For those travelling from London, regular train services run from London Victoria, London Bridge, and St Pancras International, reaching Brighton in just around an hour. The city is also conveniently close to Gatwick Airport, just a 30-minute train journey, while Heathrow Airport can be reached by coach or a combination of rail and coach services.
If travelling by coach, National Express provides routes from London, Heathrow, and other major UK cities, arriving at Pool Valley Coach Station near the city centre and seafront. For those driving, Brighton is accessible via the A23, which links directly to London and the M25, while the A27 connects Brighton to other coastal towns. Parking in the city centre can be challenging, so using Park & Ride services or parking in larger car parks on the outskirts is often a better option.
Once in Brighton, navigating without a car is simple. Brighton & Hove Buses operate a comprehensive bus network, serving not only the city but also surrounding areas, with day tickets and contactless payment available for added convenience. The city’s compact nature makes walking an excellent way to explore, with many attractions, shops, and restaurants within easy distance of each other.
Cycling is another popular option, with dedicated cycle lanes and the BTN BikeShare scheme, which allows you to hire bikes from docking stations across the city and along the seafront. For longer journeys or evening outings, taxis and rideshare services are widely available and provide a convenient mode of transport.
For those wishing to explore beyond the city, public transport can take you to the scenic South Downs National Park and surrounding countryside. Whether you choose to walk, cycle, or use public transport, Brighton’s size and excellent connectivity make it easy to discover and enjoy everything this lively coastal city has to offer.

Lovely weekend away with friends. Great location, short walk to lanes and beach very close. Parking was a little hard at first but host very helpful and found a close, cheap place to park for the weekend.

Booked the properly for an annual girlie weekend which we have been doing for about 30 years … many times in Brighton. Never stayed in Kemp Town before but would stay here again. So many pubs and restaurants on the doorstep and not too far from the station and town centre. Lovely property with everything we needed. Incredibly comfortable beds plus good shower pressure which can often be an issue elsewhere. Good communication from host. Would recommend.

Great location and nice flat. Kitchen facilities quite limited (no microwave and only one pot), but otherwise fantastic.

The place is tastefully presented and although, as advertised, it is a basement part of an apartment everything has been done toake the space comfortable. It is so close to the sea, Brighton Pier and the lanes and there is a lovely bar at the end of the street and around the corner as well as a cafe.

The place was amazing! It clean, comfortable in such a good location! Neighbours were polite and friendly and was in walking distance to the town centre and right near the pier. Would definitely stay there again!

La casa non la consiglio per la pulizia e le macchie di umido sulle pareti; infatti si tratta di un sottoscala. Le finestre si aprono a fatica o non si aprono. Non ci sono spazi per mettere una valigia e due adulti utilizzano a fatica il letto a castello e la ceretta è angusta. Infine nel bagno ceco non funziona l’aspirazione e lo scalda salviette vibra facendo un forte rumore.

Unser Appartement war leider sehr schmutzig, u.a. mit Zehennagel-Resten im Bad. Die Holzwände sind die puren Staubschleudern und alle Küchenutensilien waren klebrig und staubig. Die Lage an sich und die Kommunikation waren toll. Vermutlich hatten wir nur Pech oder das Reinigungspersonal Urlaub…

A very cosy place with a great location. Close to alle shops, bars and the beachfront. The place is small but well equipped and suitable if you plan to be on the road most of the day anyway.

Very lovely apartment. It was very tidy and clean. Unfortunately, because there was no extraction fan, everything in the kitchen was sticky. Good amount of cutlery and crockery, although there was no frying pan. Very comfy beds. A little dark, but that is to be expected on LG. Very close to the sea, which is wonderful.

No disfrutamos el hecho de que fuese una planta semisótano, falta de luz natural y malos olores

Great location. The place looked exactly like the pictures. It is small but cosy, clean and the beds are very comfortable. We parked in Chapel street car park for 48 hours at £36. We had a great breakfast at star fish and coffee near the park. It was perfect for a couple of days exploring Brighton.

We had such a nice stay here! The location is perfect for a weekend in Brighton. A stone’s throw away from all the lively neighborhoods, with great bars and restaurants in the area. Close by the sea too. Everything in the apartment was lovely and suited to our needs.

Thank you for a wonderful stay in this peaceful haven. A very friendly neighborhood and loved being close to the sea. A quick walk to centre of Brighton through quirky streets or via Queen’s Park for a more scenic route. Jasmine was helpful and replied promptly. All in all a good experience of Brighton.

Very Sweet Apartment with easy access in a very convenient location almost right on the sea front. The beds were very comfortable and the shower was absolutely lovely and powerful. However, the floors had paint chips and crumbs on them, there were a couple of items left behind from previous people, such as lash glue, and a lot of the glasses, plates and cooking equipment had old food and lipstick stains on which was disappointing as we had to wash them all before use.

Very nice cosy Appartment. Very clean and comfortable. It is lower ground. Location very near beach and restaurants but quite. We would choose it again.

Nice location. Spacious enough. Being on the lower ground floor it’s not light filled enough. And the linens could be cleaner.

Die Wohnung ist perfekt gelegen. 5min direkt zum Meer. Mit dem Bus ist Brighton und weitere Sehenswürdigkeiten einfach zu erreichen. Die Wohnung ist mit viel liebe eingerichtet. Es hat alles für einen schönen Urlaub an ruhiger Lage. wir verbrachten einen schönen Urlaub da und kommen auf jeden Fall gerne wieder.

Nous avons passé 3 jours agréables dans l’appartement. Attention cependant ce n’est pas un appartement en rez-de-chaussée mais en souplex, et l’entrée est assez petite (pas pratique si vous avez une poussette). Les lits sont très confortables ! Dans l’ensemble très bien mais pas adapté aux personnes voyageant avec un bébé.

This was our first ever experience of Air BnB and we wouldn’t be happier. From start to finish, our host Jessica was so attentive with clear instructions and we loved the care taken with us understanding the house rules in order to keep the property in good order and condition. The space is so well thought out - a little secret haven a 30 second walk from the seafront, 5 min walk from the pier - amazing location. Easy to find and sort good priced parking nearby and great local shops and Coop literally 5 min walk away. The property is beautifully decorated and felt like a little Swiss chalet - perfect layout and immaculately clean. So child friendly too - robust and nothing breakable around, which makes the whole experience so much more relaxing with kids. They loved their bunk room! Genuinely cannot recommend this property highly enough, we will definitely be back. Fab value for money and made our few days away amazing! Thank you Air BnB!

The flat is located perfectly in Brighton, close to the beach and Pier, the Lanes, etc., but at the same time in a quiet side street. Communication with the host is very quick and friendly. The flat is sufficiently equipped and has two nice bedrooms and a spacious living room/kitchen.

Had a great stay in Brighton, thanks! Great communication with host, luggage hold facility even though not close to property still very helpful. One improvement if I can suggest, there’s no way to get fresh air in smaller bedroom.

Luke

It was a nice and cosy stay, it was close to the seafront so you could get lovely views, it’s not too far to walk to the centre and there’s also really nice restaurants around the area. The host was friendly and gave all the needed information beforehand, the actual place was lovely, cosy and clean. Would recommend to anyone wanting a nice getaway to Brighton

Janine

We had a wonderful stay. Property is clean and quiet. All amenities are working and complete. Wifi is available. We never had any concerns or issues. I have a 1 yr old and there’s big space for him to walk/run around.

Brent

We were transferred to this rental due to an issue that happened before we arrived with the one we booked. Communication was great and they provided beyond expectations. We did arrive to a slightly dirty floor of the space, but was easily taken care of. The location is great and close to many attractions. Parking can be difficult. all in all, the space was perfect for what we needed.
