The appartment is comfortable but not fabulous . First because you can't see the sea from the appartment window as it is said in the presentation of the property. Most of the windows are in an internal court. From the other two, you can see the square and the parking in front of the building.
Anyway, the appartment is quite small. There isn't a table in the kitchen so you have to walk to and fro down the corridor up to the living room. There is no high chair in the appartment. So the toddlers have some problems with having their meals.
There are many restaurants in the neighbourhood but with children it is not quite easy to have all the meals out.
The appartment is not insulated so the cold and the wind may create some problems if you turn off the heating. Especially in the bathroom, it is quite cold.
There is a parking in front of the building; you have to pay around £6 a day and it is difficult to find a place there. I preferred not to move the car at all because of the impossibility to find a parking place in the neighbourhood. Parking is a real problem in Brighton!
The property was clean and well maintained. The facilities were all there and of high quality.
The customer service was the minimum requested but not sufficient for a foreigner . People who come from outside UK must get a lot of supplementary information, including the communication service which I found different from the continent. Texting and calling a mobile phone in Brighton doesn't require dialling the country code first (if you have a roaming service, of course)
Brighton is beautiful and there is a lot to do in the city. Visiting the sights, shopping, eating, walking, jogging, having fun.
The bus service is good but, for children over 7 you have to pay the full price ticket.
I found the property not quite proper for family with children, not young children, anyway.
