Host & Stay | Studio Pod 2 — Guest Reviews

Definitely worth the money. Positive: The kitchen and bathroom were really good quality and very modern. I can’t fault anything from pre arrival information to everything in the pod. Negative: Maybe have someone look at the front door as it was really difficult to open, it may have swollen with the rain but it needs adjusting.

Positive: WiFi brilliant. Clean. Comfy bed. Everything there that we wanted. Plenty of room for 2. Lighting and heating instant and very versatile. We could pick what we wanted! Loads of electric plugs and all in right places!! Please keep it good value like this! Negative: A few noises from floor above but nothing unusual!

I recently stayed at this Airbnb and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The location was great, with easy access to nearby shops, the train station and close access to the sea. The host provided clear instructions for check-in and check-out. I would definitely consider staying here again for its convenience and reasonable pricing.

A wonderful place to stay in Saltburn, perfect for solo travelers or couples. It was tidy, well kept and the location was absolutely perfect! Communication with the host was easy and they were responsive and happy to help make our stay as comfortable as possible. Would definitely stay again!

Things I liked: The flat was as described. I didn't use many of the kitchen facilities, but they looked great, smart and modern. Milk, coffee machine with pods were provided which was most welcome. The bathroom was fine. Apart from a slightly scruffy carpet by the bed, the room had been cleaned to a high standard. I felt comfortable there. Things I didn't like: Noise from neighbouring areas affected me but I had brought earplugs to mitigate. Also I used eye shades as the window blinds didn't block out enough light. The windows are all frosted glass, so there are no views at all from the flat. The biggest issue I had was the additional and unexpected charge, and wasted time in responding to excessive numbers of messages and making a payment, for damage protection cover - all for a 2 night stay. Details of the additional charge were well hidden in the listing and I was not aware that hosts were able to opt out of Airbnb's general damage policy until now. Therefore I won't be using

Positive: The location was superb and the studio pod had everything that I needed for one weeks holiday. Negative: I was in Studio pod 2, which is on the first floor. I could hear the people in the pod above me whenever they were walking around which at times became very annoying.

Flat has been advertised on AirBnb to be equipped with washing machine and that was one of the main reasons why I made booking. Apparently, there is no washing machine in the property and when I pointed this out to landlord they offered to find laundry for me without any explanation why information on AirBnb was misleading. As I work as a contractor near by and was staying in the property for 3 weeks I had to waist my time and money to go to local laundry to wash my clothes. For all of those reasons I’ve requested refund from landlord (Host&Stay) but they simply ignored this. Only when I send complaint to AirBnb they‘be finally reacted and offered me compensation. Be aware of this landlord as the are not trying to be proactive and to help their guests.

Nice room nice location Excellent for me to use as a base whilst working away from home. It was home from home. Comfy bed n nice and warm 👍👍👍

The studio itself was nice - clean and serviceable and near where we needed it to be. However, prior to booking I asked Charlie, the host whether the studio was on the ground floor, as my partner had mobility issues. I was assured that both of his properties - Pod 2 and Pod 3 were ground floor. So…I booked it. We arrived at the property and entered and saw the studio was on the first floor with, I think 13 stairs. My partner really struggled. We stayed 2 nights but he could only go up and downstairs once per day so if we went out for the day - we had to stay out for the evening. Host & Stay were not helpful - at all. I called them, they assured me they would call back and they never did the whole 3 days. The conversation I had with the host via messages completely disappeared on Air B&B, so I had no proof. The host (Charlie), who I only spoke to 10 days ago denied all knowledge and said he wanted to sort things out before I left a bad review - then never contacted me!! Appalling!

cute little getaway for a couple

Loved our stay in this beautiful little pod and will definitely recommend to others wanting a beautiful relaxing break. Positive: Location - close to my daughter and family who live in Skelton. Fantastic location - Saltburn is beautiful and can walk to the beach and watch the surfers and paddle boarders. Will definitely be returning. Negative: Loved it all

It’s been great staying with you guys. I have managed to get a permanent flat now. But thanks. I appreciate your service !

Attractive and comfortable accommodation in a really convenient location. Parked right outside, yet close to the seafront. Walked from the house to the front and along the cliffs - superb! Great bars and restaurants in the same street too, and big Sainsbury’s over the road. Great base for exploring the North Yorkshire coast.

Nice little place. Could've done with a few more cleaning utensils like a brush and a decent hoover. A clean set of bedding would've been nice for such a long stay

We visited Saltburn for a wedding, our stay was very pleasant. The room was clean, spacious & overall very accommodating.

Lovely space in a great location Positive: Nice and roomy and the location is great. Wifi was very fast, kitchen and bathroom were modern, the bed was very comfortable and everything just worked really well. Overall a very nice stay! Negative: Place could have been cleaned a little better after the previous resident, but these were very minor things.

Lovely little studio apartment! We have no complaints and would use this host again! Thank you

Great location Great response from host Very well stocked And fresh flowers Would definitely recommend and stay again

Good value for the money just about everything you need and clean. Would have been nice to have a kitchen roll and more than one teaspoon but these are small niggles and we would recommend the accommodation and stay there again

Clean and well appointed apartment, close to most amenities. Positive: The Studio Pod is very well situated in the middle of town, next to the Railway Station, shops, cafes and a very short walk to the seafront. It was clean and tidy with a range of equipment and nice furniture. Negative: There aren't any instructions for using the cooker. It is particularly difficult to work out how to use the oven. I slightly burnt my tea !!

Nice apartment clean and tidy good location. shops bars a d restaurants in easy reach.

Positive: Spotless! Everything you could need, compy bed, near to cafés, restaurant, bars, very central location. Would definitely recommend. Negative: Everything about pod 2 was perfect!

everything what needed was provided, great location, apartment looks like on pictures, some issues with cleanliness, microvawe dirty, lots of dust, no personal touches for customers, some things used in half (washing liquid, toilet tissue) after all would recommend

Lovely stay and very comfy bed and linen.. we will return for sure Positive: Close to station , beach and all amenities.. clean and comfortable with everything needed for a short stay Negative: Only two hangers , one teaspoon, no tea towel so had to use hand towel .. could have done with decent bread knife it all this didn’t spoil our stay would just have made it perfect .. didn’t mark down for any of those reasons

Saltburn on sea apartment June 25. Positive: Place was quiet , comfortable and clean. The kitchen was very well equipped. Room had an iron tv and hairdryer. Great shower. Comfy bed and plenty of pillows. Only a couple of minutes walk from beachfront and 1 minute from Sainsbury's. Negative: Check in and out. Difficulty with key. No staff about. Had to phone. Air conditioning was set and we couldn't adjust it. 2 bath towels only one hand towel . Lock on toilet door was broken.

Great location, quaint little town, lovely beach and scenery Positive: Very easy to collect keys, lock box code sent shortly before check in time Negative: All good

Very pleasant Positive: Good location, quiet , comfortable Negative: Nothing

Thank you for staying with us. We hope that you enjoyed your stay. We would love to welcome you back in one of our property in the future.

Clean and modern place in a good location, close to seafront, shops, train station and places to eat. Contained everything you need, iron, hairdryer, small airfryer. Bed was very comfy. There was noise from neighbouring pod which you can expect from a place like this and bears no reflection on my review or the host.

This flat is in a great location. A very short walk away is a supermarket, independent shops and the beach! The bed was so comfortable and lovely clean sheets.. reminded me of a hotel bed. There were excellent kitchen facilities and tv. The only thing was there was dust on skirting boards in the bathroom and the shower wasn’t great. However, we enjoyed a comfortable stay here and would book again when we next visit Saltburn.

Great location, by all the bars and eating places, also close to the water front. On street parking directly outside the property with more on the streets leading onto Milton Street. The studio pod was clean and well equipped with everything you would need for a short stay.

Our saltburn break Positive: Great location to bars, restaurants, public transport. We love Saltburn andcthe flat was spot on for what we required. Negative: There was nothing not to like, but maybe the communal areas of the property needs some TLC.

Great location and clean

Comfortable, clean spacious accommodation, ideal for our needs. Central location. Positive: The location is convenient for bars, restaurants and coffee shops. Ideal location for the beach. Train station is located on the next street. On street free parking, plenty of space. Negative: Nothing to dislike.

Very nice place, happy to stay again!

Great stay in Saltburn, and very good communication!

highly recommend, great customer service and great place to stay exactly as described. Will be back in the future !

Thank you - we had a great stay!

Great place to stay

Lovely place nice and cosy just as advertised

Enjoyed our stay excellent location downside was noise from pod aboveb. Negative: Overall clean but cobwebs on the ceiling and under the kitchen wall units , The skirting board in the bathroom was dirty Few dirty marks on walls

We have stayed in the Studio Pods on several occasions and have always been impressed by them. On this occasion there were a few things that were not so good but they are easy things to rectify and I feel confident that I won't have these issues when I stay there again.

Lovely apartment with everything you need. Fabulous location close to restaurants and shops. Beach just down the road so really enjoyed the stay

Positive: The pods are in a good location and well appointed. Negative: We were aware of other guests staying in the pod above us as the floor boards were very creaky!

Lovely room with good facilities Positive: The room was clean, tidy and roomy and the facilities were good. The house is well placed in Saltburn being just across the road from the Railway Station and shops and restaurants. The beach is only 5 mins away. Milton Road has a lot of unrestricted parking so it is possible to park close by.

Positive: Location and kitchen facilities Negative: The laminate floor means can hear all other tenants/holidaymakers

Property absolutely fine, just provide manuals for appliances. Positive: Furniture/appliances all good, location very convenient - Sainsburys nearby most useful Negative: I had difficulty using some of the appliances, no manuals or instructions available, I phoned Host and Stay re this but it took 7 phone calls and 2hrs before the problem was resolved. The damage protection requirement was not mentioned before booking. I have informed Host and Stay of these issues.

easy to book, easy to find, few imperfections but wasn't too bothered about it. Owner was very responsive and easy to communicate with.

Great place. Easy to get to. So close to the seaside, 2 min walk. Can’t fault the place.

Fabulous stay in Pod 2 Positive: Location was perfect, easy to get parked outside the apartments, spotlessly clean, comfy bed (pod 2 has a larger bed) good shower. We didn't cook as short break but everything you could need in full kitchen including dishwasher and was also a coffee machine. Negative: Not I didn't like but a nice to have would be more hangers and a hair dryer (unless I missed it!!)

Perfect for a 2 night seaside trip. Thanks

Lovely accommodation, in a beautiful location. Would stay again 😊

Excellent property Positive: Very clean and modern. Conveniently located to everything. Will definitely be staying again.

lovely place to stay exactly where we wanted to be thank you

There was only one problem with this apartment which was disappointing as the location, decor and amenities were good. Unfortunately, as you find in a lot of similar style properties there is very little soundproofing. Given the wood/laminate floor throughout the bathroom and kitchen area we could hear every footstep, chair move, bed creaking from the upstairs apartment. We may have been unlucky with occupants upstairs moving around a lot and until the early hours but it's something to consider.

Positive: Location, and room Negative: Nothing.

Apartment was very well equipped and the kitchen and bathroom very clean. Just a few snags, the toilet seat was loose and the bathroom blind didn't work also the plinth on the sink unit in the bathroom was broken, pedal bin in kitchen had a broken pedal and the bedroom area hadn't been vacuumed. After having to pay £250 deposit for breakages you worry that you will be charged for the loose toilet seat etc.

Enjoyed our stay had a small issue at start but this was sorted out very quickly and once sorted we enjoyed our stay very close to the beach and the room had everything we needed very impressed really enjoyed

Ideally situated especially as we travelled by train. The station was two minutes walk away. Near to restaurants & shops and the beach & valley gardens nearby. The studio pod was clean, comfortable and warm. Communication regards the stay was informative & detailed although a little over the top regards the amount of repetitive messages/ e mails. My only criticism as raised by other reviewers is the hidden costs. £250 deposit or insurance cover is quite excessive.

Positive: Everything you would need. Very clean and comfortable. Excellent location. Definitely coming back x Negative: Nothing everything was exceptional

A pleasant stay in the studio. Great for a weekend stay.

Positive: Closed to all the amenities. Room was well laid out, it had everything what we needed. Negative: Lack of sound proofing, the noise from the room above, could hear them moving around and their voices.

Comfortable clean apartment. Positive: Lovely clean comfortable accomodation , would definately stay again. Local eateries and supermarket close by. Adequate parking on the street... Nice touch having milk in the fridge , tea bags and cleaning things available. Also good communication with host and stay sending all relevang information needed for our stay.. Negative: We were in pod 2 we could hear people above walking around etc it wasnt too bad just a niggle.

Great stay! Thank you

Clean, stylish, fully equipped & very comfortable. Great location in the heart of the town & walkable to the sea. Highly recommended for a few days getaway. Good communication viaHost & Stay, and fab local info provided.

Great accommodation and in a convenient location. I agree with other reviews that you can hear when people in the flat upstairs are moving around but this wasn't a big issue for us.

We had a brilliant stay. The whole place was exactly like the pictures. it was super clean and the bed was sooo comfortable. Easy to access and in a great location. We would definitely stay again.

A lovely, immaculate property! We had a great stay!

Studio Pod 2 was perfect for what I needed. Easy parking, close to the town and the beach. Few shops nearby The area is dead quiet, the room was well-equipped and cosy. Very enjoyable stay. The only issues I had were with Host & Stay themselves.

Fantastic place to stay, will be trying to book again 😁 Positive: Lovely place to stay. Clean, modern furnishings.couldnt fault the studio 👍 Negative: Whilst i appreciate wood flooring is convenient, the noise from above was sometimes loud, having said that, i asked them to keep it down a bit, which they did👍

Fantastic room, fantastic stay. Messages throughout to ensure there were no issues and to remind us of our departure times. Really impressed with these. First time using AirBNB and we were blown away by these hosts! Thank you again!! Highly recommend Pod 2 in Saltburn By The Sea! (I’m sure the other two pods are just as amazing!)

Very nice, everything you need and perfect location

We spent 3 nights in Pod 2 enjoying the lovely seaside town of Saltburn. The pod had everything we needed and we didn't want to leave!

Positive: The pod was surprisingly spacious, newly done, clean and well equipped.access and parking we're good. Negative: Noise of people moving about above, particularly during a fairly early check out time for 10am.

If we were ever in the area again, we would be back. Positive: The location was great for what we needed. A couple of shops very local to the accommodation meant that there were no issues at all when we needed anything at all. The kitchen was well stocked with crockery, etc. The studio had everything that we needed and was very clean and well presented.

Lovely recently opened studio with very comfy bed. Superb accommodation in idea location. With all that was needs for a short break. Clean and bright. Free on street parking right outside the property. A short walk from bars and eateries for a evening meal and drink after spending the day on the beach or walking the lovely coastal paths.
