Chantel was so lovely and available quickly to answer any queries. The apartment was very central with it only being a two minute walk into the town. Not only was it a beautiful space, it was clean, tidy and fully equipped with everything you needed. Overall it was such a lovely stay, and I would recommend to everyone :)

Lovely surprise to arrive here, stand out on that balcony and have not only a view of the sea but the ruins of Hastings castle too! Did not expect that!! The description & pictures didn’t showcase that at all, it’s so lovely!

We had a lovely 3 days stay at Chantels place and she was super accommodating with an early check in time. However on the second day the WiFi got disconnected, a supply issue apparently, but Chantel very kindly offered us the use of another apartment nearby for our last night. Otherwise all good. Super location close to beach, shops and old town.

A really lovely flat. The large main room is great with large feature window and tall ceilings. Sitting outside on the balcony during the summer would be great (not so much in the middle of winter!).
The car park on Castle Hill Road was only a short walk to the apartment.
Chantel was great to deal with and let us check in early which was really helpful.

I loved this Airbnb, the location is perfect, next to everything but with a quiet and private feel.
I booked super last minute but Chantel was super accommodating. I would recommend staying here! The windows are so beautiful.

Lovely place with lots of space to relax. Fantastic location, close to the old town and main town centre. Easy to get everwhere within walking distance. Would highly reccomend!

A lovely flat and walking distance to some lovely restaurants in the old town , shops and station.
The beach is also very near for some bracing walks.
Really enjoyed my stay and hope to return when the weather is warmer!
Chantel was extremely responsive to a couple of questions I had and arranged an earlier check in for me. Thank you !

A gorgeous flat with beautiful high ceilings, large windows and a balcony we enjoyed breakfast on. A very comfortable stay! A great location with a view of the sea made the flat perfect for our weekend stay.
My only minor criticism would be 4pm check in and 10am check out feels a little tight for time, however Chantel very kindly allowed an 11am check out!
