This is a great apartment in a pretty good location. It is spotlessly clean, modern, and just like the photos. The lounge is lovely and bright. Bedroom is a tad small but still lovely. There was parking nearby and it was easy to find. The little high street has a good selection of shops and restaurants and it was easy to walk into town and the harbour arm. The communal area of the flat has a bit of a drainage smell but this doesn’t affect the flat. Instructions were all very clear. We tried to use the out of hours contact and had no response but, when we did get a response it was very helpful and we were able to have a late checkout which was great. I’d definitely recommend this apartment.

Fabulous flat, really comfortable, spacious and spotlessly clean. Easy walking distance to harbour arm and the creative quarter. The Bouverie tap across the road does amazing homemade food and the staff are so welcoming. Would definitely recommend staying here

Had a nourishing time at Christine's place over New Year's. Well equipped and a cosy place to come back to after some long coastal walks. Would happily stay again!

Lovely apartment, perfect for a weekend away. Really spacious lounge/kitchen area, comfortable bed and well equipped. It's a couple of minutes walk to the sea front, around five minutes into (the main bit of) town, across the road from a Tesco express, and on the same road as many nice restaurants and pubs (though not noisy!). Recommended.

Place was clean and comfortable, with snacks/cereal/tea/milk provided. The location was very good for walking into Folkestone town or to the Leas/seafront. It was a bit noisy out front at night but out back (where the bedroom is) was quiet.

I was amazed about this apartement! It is a wonderful place to stay. We felt like home and will come back. 100%. It was very clean and that made us feel even more comfortable. The furniture, the kitchen and everything else is new and clean. We had everything we need without running to a store after arriving. Thank you so much for keeping us. All the best Tess

Our stay at Christine's accommodation was amazing. We had booked to stay for a weekend but, due to the train strikes, we had to extend our stay to the Thursday. They were really accomodating, and we were able to stay in the ground flat on the Thursday night and move to the first floor flat on the Friday. The flat itself is very well designed and a lovely place to stay. We had a great time in Folkestone. We did the park run by the coast (which is just three minutes from the flat), walked to Hythe and enjoyed food and drink in local cafes and restaurants.

We had great communication with the hosts who really looked after us - due to a last minute problem with the property, the hosts called us for a chat, arranged for us to stay in another of their properties and made us feel really welcome and looked after. The property we stayed in near the harbour was really nicely decorated, spotless, and the extra touches were really thoughtful.

Everything was perfect. Very impressed by how thoughtfully the flat was fitted out, and it was spotlessly clean. The location is great, with shops and restaurants just outside, and a short walk from the sea and town centre. Highly recommended.

For anybody that is looking for a perfect place to stay in Folkestone, this is the place for you! The pictures on Airbnb don’t even do this flat justice. The flat is very spacious, meticulously clean, and very well equipped. The Location is a short walk to the center of town as well as the beach. The check in process was smooth and easy, no issues at all. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire process.

I cannot recommend this apartment enough. Easy to find, no issues with checkin or checkout . The apartment itself is lovely and morden, clean and with all the amenities you will need for your stay. The location is prefect, right on the Lees but yet close enough to walk into the town and harbour. Christine was a great host, her communications were very detailed and received ahead of our stay. Thank you Christine you may our stay so relaxing..

Perfect weekend stay. The apartment looked much bigger than the photos and was nice and clean. Snacks and water provided on arrival. Good location, selection of restaurants and bars within walking distance and off site parking within a 2 min walk. Great value for money, would definitely recommend!
