Wonderful English Getaway
The flat is modern, clean, well-kept, and comfortable. Its location in Southsea, close to the South Parade Pier is convenient, plus if offers a great view of the sea. It's walking distance to a number of attractions, namely the Southsea Castle, D-Day Story Museum, and Clarence Pier. It was easy to take Uber to visit other attractions outside Southsea. There's a small grocery store and several restaurants nearby. If you have mobility issues, you should know that while the property is listed as a "first floor flat," you actually need to climb four sets of stairs (two outdoors from the gate and two indoors within the apartment building) to get to the first floor! In the U.S., a first-floor or ground-floor apartment means you'll walk in the front door without having to climb any stairs. Not so in this case because the entrance is at the back, so you're basically going around the building to enter it. This was the only thing that surprised us. Everything else was great. We loved the laid-back atmosphere of Portsmouth and the English coastal beauty. It's a great antidote to London's frenetic pace. The people are warm and friendly. We had a wonderful time!
