Great flat in Southsea!
My family and I had a wonderful stay at this Places to Be property in Southsea, Portsmouth. The property is located very close to the beach - although we didn’t go as the weather was too cold - and other local attractions such as Gunwharf Quays, which was perfect for our pre-Christmas break. The property looks the same as the pics! Only very minor issue was working out how to keep the heating on but apart from that, great place.
