Guests say
Walter's Rest is a well-regarded apartment in Dartmouth, praised for its prime location and cleanliness. Guests appreciate the proximity to local attractions and the comfort provided, despite some noting the challenge of stairs. Maintenance issues are mentioned, but the overall experience remains positive, with many looking forward to returning.
The apartment is generally found to be clean, with specific praise for its condition upon arrival. However, there are isolated complaints about a mouldy net curtain and a need for better upkeep in communal areas.
The location is highly valued for its centrality and convenience to local sights and amenities, with a great view of the harbour. Some noise issues are noted due to nearby bars and deliveries.
The apartment is described as comfortable and spacious, with a well-equipped living space. The numerous stairs and some noise disturbances are drawbacks for some guests.
Facilities are adequate, with the inclusion of a parking permit and essential appliances. However, several maintenance issues such as broken window locks, a faulty shower head, and problematic bathroom fan detract from the overall experience.
There is insufficient information regarding any thoughtful gestures or gifts provided by the hosts, so a score cannot be accurately given.

It is so handy for the marina and the shops, so overall it is a nice apartment. However I tried to get the shower to work a few times with no success.

It has everything we needed. Dishwasher and washing machine are dirty. Toilet should be repaired.

Only issues were that there were no instructions to be found anywhere at all for the large appliances ie cooker, washing machine, dishwasher, so we had to guess what setting did what. Ironically the only instructions we could find were for the toaster, which is the one appliance for which you could do without instructions. Also, there were no black bags to be found for leaving the bedding and towels in at the end of the stay as requested, so we folded these and left them on the bed; on day one we had to buy our own roll of kitchen towel as was none although there was a holder for the same; the one small thin square of J-cloth issued for the week was not helpful; the two dishwasher tablets supplied were never going to last a week so we bought some of those too. These are all relatively small and easily rectified issues which if addressed would make the apartment five stars rather than four. Generally, a very good week was had, thank you.
