Location was good, away from the busy streets. The host has made some efforts for comfort with nice quality crockery and cutlery, a blanket on the sofa for if it gets a bit chilly. The apartment was small - as are most apartments in the UK. Living in North America we have to adjust our expectations of UK properties, and most UK residents would likely say it was a good size. We did not feel cramped which is good. A washing machine was available for use in the bathroom which was very handy, and cleaning products, including washing powder in the form of tide pods, were provided.
The host had left a welcome leaflet saying they provided coffee and milk for the guests - there was ground coffee in packages I guess other people had used but no coffee maker or even a French press to make coffee in, and there was no milk in the fridge. The shower and toilet are absolutely pathetic - if they are 'energy saving' then it's an oxymoron - you have to flush the toilet at least 3 times to get the paper to go down and the shower water comes out so slowly you spend longer in there especially after washing your hair. The welcome leaflet said not to dry clothes on hangers but to use the drier - but there's no drier in the apartment. We did small loads, hung them on the towel warmer on hangers, kept the window open and the door closed so there was no moisture in the bathroom. A 'How to' use the washing machine would have been helpful, the first wash I did took more than two hours. There was a TV available with limited channels, a channel list would have been helpful. We were staying on the first floor, there is an apartment above and the sound proofing is atrocious - you can hear the people above talking - luckily for us the people above were not in all day but we could hear them in the morning and in the evening.

The flats were very well decorated / comfortable & clean, especially the top floor one. Also, not too far from all the highlights of Southsea. Parking permits were provided by the host for the 2 flats we rented and we were able to park in the next street for all 3 days.
The top floor flat shower could do with a new shower head, as it was a bit of an eratic spray. The basement flat doesn't have much sound proofing from the flat above which was disturbing day and night.
