Private access to your own studio

This beautiful 1920s-inspired studio resides within a converted guesthouse in central Southsea. Within close proximity to Southsea seafront and with local shops within walking distance, this art deco studio is perfectly located. Finished with authentic art deco furnishings, this is a unique property not to be missed.

The studio gives guests ample space to relax and unwind, with a comfy double bed, 2 easy chairs and TV. The studio comes complete with a wardrobe, dressing table and dining table for eating or working. Perfect for 2 adults, or 2 adults and 1 child. The easy chairs click clack together to convert into a single bed.

When it’s time to dine, the kitchenette includes basic essentials for cooking up a storm, including a single electric hob, microwave, utensils, crockery and glassware - so all you need is to get some goodies in!

The adjoining en-suite modern bathroom has a shower, toilet and sink. If you’ve got little ones staying with you, we can also provide a travel cot and/or highchair, but please advise in advance if these are required, so we can be sure they are available for your stay.

Liked: Location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in
Good location. Unfortunately the front door would not unlock so we couldn’t get into the building for an hr and a half and only because somebody else was going in - not a good start to the weekend. 25 minute walk into town. Parking is hit and miss as there are alot of cars around. Room was a nice size and adequate for what we needed. Mattress was a bit soft so not to my liking but comfortable. No milk unfortunately but when I contacted the host he brought some to us. Tv does not have basic free view due to no signal but plenty of streaming available.
