The place is cosy and as per photos. It is clean and very conveniently located, with a great view too. Hosts were very responsive. Unfortunately, a little issue that we had was that the hot water cuts off after 11pm and that there is a fishy smell in the toilet. It helped that there was an air freshener in it that we could use.

Beautiful location over looking the sea for cosy picturesque mornings with the whalebones and town a short walk away. Perfect for a couples getaway with parking very close. This is my 6th and favourite stay in Whitby.

Such a great stay, would recommend to anyone. The view from the window is stunning and it’s a lovely walk to the centre.

Was a horrendous ammonia/fishy/chemical smell in the bathroom. Was told on 3 separate occasions they would sort and did not. It was unbearable to be in. Made myself, daughter and partner feel sick. We couldn’t sleep and spent as little time as possible in the apartment. It’s clear this is an ongoing problem as I have now found lots of reviews from the past year expressing the same things. This property is not fit to stay in and should not be allowed on air bnb to rent. The owners need serious work doing to the property to make this fit to stay in. It is going to cause someone to be seriously ill especially if they have lung/respiratory problems
