Excellent stay
Excellent room with a nice view in a great location. Could do with brighter lights in the toilet and kitchen. Kitchen tap needs to be tightened too.

great place
Great overnight, quiet & secure. All I required. Only thing was that overnight a bit cool. Even though I’d turned heating up. Think due to single glazing sash & case windows.

Nicely appointed but some disappointing aspects
Very clean and quite well appointed apartment. However instructions for heating given however the radiators did not work. There were two portable heaters available but they were inadequate for the size of the room on a cold evening. Also the next morning I went out at 9.30 for a quick errand and returned at 10.00 to find a cleaner in the room well ahead of checkout time. Felt rushed and cleared out early.

We really like the location. It is away from the busy center city area but it is easy to get into the city center by bus or by walking. There is also a Tesco Metro nearby.

Comfortable stay
The apartment is spacious and comfortable. It is unmanned but support online is very efficient and helpful. Housekeeping service is good. A bit of a walk from city centre though.

Overall terrific. Not in the heart of tourist action but not too far away. Parking can be a challenge and I do not recall seeing a heads up about that. Instructions about that (and a pass for the street) would have been nice.

Everything was excellent except for the sofa bed, once you put it up the middle looks and feels like a triangle so the kids ended up sleeping on the floor as it was far more comfortable.
