Guests say
The Wesley Apartment in Falmouth is generally appreciated for its good location, spaciousness, and the inclusion of parking. Guests have found it to be a suntrap with a comfortable lounge and well-equipped kitchen. While some guests encountered issues, the owners' responsiveness and gestures of apology were noted.
Reviews indicate a mix of experiences with cleanliness. Some guests arrived to an unclean apartment, while others found it tidy. Issues like mould and dust were mentioned, suggesting room for improvement.
The apartment's location is praised for its proximity to the town centre and views over the river estuary. However, the steep walk back and the misleading online description of the sea view slightly affected the score.
Guests found the property warm with comfortable lounges and spacious rooms. Some concerns were raised about the quality of mattresses and the complexity of the heating system.
The apartment is well-equipped, but several maintenance issues like blocked drains, broken toilet flush mechanisms, and peeling paint were reported. These issues suggest a need for better upkeep.
While the owners' gesture of sending flowers as an apology was appreciated, there is not enough information on consistent thoughtfulness, such as gifts, to provide a score. Therefore, the score is set to null.

I think the apartment could do with a deep clean was very dusty blinds in the double bedroom especially. The shower cubicle drain overflows out onto the floor after showers it does not drain away quick enough. We have stayed here before and enjoyed both stays.

Our only issue was some confusion with the parking. We were told to park in the first packing bay opposite the garages, but when we got there at 5pm there was someone else parked there, getting something out of their car. when we asked them to move they told us it was a 'free for guests' bay and we had to park in a bay approx 5 spaces up (which had a 'flat 1' sign in front of it). We did park there, but were concerned this was not our space and kept checking the car for notices the whole time during our stay.
