Its good having DVDs on the shelves but you need a DVD player on which to play them. As regards to Whitby itself. It has an antisocial behavior problem with local youths. The local pizza shop had cross words with a few of them. The car park behind the Co OP had youths in cars making a nuisance of themselves well into the early hours.

However, soon noticed small things. Mould around the windows, internal doors that would not shut properly, uneven tiles on bathroom floor, air fresheners everywhere. The smell was overpowering. The lack of heating was the biggest problem, the whole apartment was so cold. There is a thermostat but not to be touched. It's not a bad place, clean and in good location, attention to small details would make a world of difference to the overall experience.

Hill to property but as you would expect in Whitby and not as steep as many. 3 small easy steps to property. Initially appeared clean and well maintained but windows had a lot of mild on edges and windowsills and lounge blinds had not been cleaned, very dusty. Kitchen well equipped but some items in cupboards required washing as felt sticky. Bathroom well equipped but silicon standards were shoddy and looked poor. Did smell musty at times even though large number of air fresheners which were overpowering and caused headaches for some. Would recommend as good price point and location. Owner was helpful and responsive.
