Thanks Nathan. Nice to have a repeat visitor sorry I didn’t catch up with you properly 🙂
Nice quiet digs a short walk away!

Thanks Luke. You’re welcome to return next time you are in town 😀
I had a great stay at Joanne"s. Only 20 minutes walk from the Mayflower. I used the Voi hire e-bikes most of the time so was a 6 minute cycle.
The bed is comfy and warm. Lots of storage space too.
Only thing is, the kitchen including the appliances, windows and bathroom need to be more regularly and throughly cleaned.

Thanks Sophie. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Like most working home owners I clean regularly but not daily I’m sorry you didn’t think this was frequent enough.
Great location for the Mayflower, a 20 minute walk and I felt safe walking back at night. Quiet flat, comfy bed, big window so lots of light.
My big issue was cleanliness. It's been mentioned in other reviews and always blamed on the student also living there, but the host was present my whole stay and even after I mentioned wanting to cancel a future booking due to how dirty it was, little effort was made to adequately clean the flat. Not ok for paying guests and I did cancel.

I’m sorry my apartment was not up to your standards. It is a home not a hotel and is lived in. I’m not going to impose a sterile environment on myself or others living with me. Maybe living with the host is not suited to you.
A very comfortable room with lots of space. Peaceful with bathroom opposite a decent shower. Was further than I expected from the Mayflower but a pleasant 20 minute walk in. Joanne was friendly and welcoming as well as helpful with any questions. Good value for money and would recommend to anyone coming to Southampton.

The room at Joanne's was large and comfortable, only met Joanne briefly but she was very friendly. It's a lovely street and is about a 20 minute walk from the MAST. It's also not far from the common which I found very beneficial!

The room was comfortable and spacious, and Joanne was a really friendly and welcoming host! Although the kitchen and bathroom need to be kept more thoroughly clean.
29th Apr 2024
Hi Vinnie thanks for your feedback. I will ensure my current student is tidier!
I met Joanne, she is so lovely, the house is so close to the theatre and the room is very cozy, the kitchen is a bit messy but very functional, you find everything you need!
All in all, a great stay!
5th Apr 2024
Glad you enjoyed your stay. I need to train my student to be tidier in the kitchen! Enjoy the rest of your tour 😀
I had a great stay at Joanne's. A nice room handily close to town and Joanne was very friendly.

Joanne was a great Host, although I didn’t get to meet her in person due to our working schedules, she was very quick to respond to any messages I sent her. Bed was comfy and lovely shower. Super easy walk to the theatre and the area was quiet and felt safe at night. Thanks

Couldn’t have ask for better and the bed was SO comfy. Joanne was out at all times so I sadly didn’t get to meet her but was grateful she trusted me to stay at her place. Super easy walk to Mayflower. Would stay again.

Joanne was a great host and welcomed me to her home even though I rushed off again shortly after arriving.
Despite being away for some of my stay, Joanne very kindly texted during the week to check everything was ok. A very clean and modern home.

I had a lovely time staying with Joanne. The room was lovely and really spacious. The Mast Theatre and Mayflower theatres are about a 20min walk or 5 min Drive from the property. Parking was really easy at the property. Thanks for a great stay
