We stayed in this apartment for 3 weeks in April and overall had a good experience. The flat is like any of its era, practical and functional with all the necessary amenities to accommodate a group with children, Communication from the host was always prompt, courteous and professional. The bed in the master bedroom was especially comfortable. Our kids adopted the flat as 'our house' which was a relief as they felt right at home.
The flat is in a great location generally BUT be aware that if you have small children the main road is busy and fast moving at times (although the limit is 30MPH) and loading kids into car seats felt perilous on occasion.
As with most of Southsea, parking can be a bit challenging and is rarely free - if you arrive late in the evening then expect to park on a side street. The host did provide 12 hour parking passes for parking on side streets but as we were travelling with kids we elected to park on the main road and feed the meter until the morning most days (parking was free after 6pm until 8am during our stay and you can pay for a couple of hours the next morning in advance which was useful - if you are not from the UK be aware the meters do not accept non-UK credit cards so change is required)
Overall the accommodation provided a nice facility for good value with the added plus of room for kids to relax without being confined to a hotel room. We would definitely consider staying here again.

We stayed at Seaview during the latest Bank Holiday weekend. Lou, who manages the rental met us at the location and was very helpful with information on the apartment and the area.
The apartment is listed as accommodating six, due to the sofa bed, but in reality, this is more comfortable for four. We are five and had one of our daughters sleep on the sofa bed. She found it extremely hard.
There is one TV in the unit, in the living area. It is quite small, smaller than our PC monitor at home. I recommend getting a larger TV and maybe moving the smaller one into the bedroom.
All in all, we enjoyed the apartment. It is a great location, it was clean, and it served our needs.

Like the title says, I cant say enough about this Seaview apartment...
I went with my family and small kids where it was like staying at home with all your needs covered, down to the Wifi working, milk butter and bread in the fridge.
Would recommend this to all ages... also the beach is across the road.
