Beautiful appnt in a central location. Public car park opposite which is secured at night. Roof terrace is a lovely advantage, ideal for drinks after a full day's shopping!

Beautiful spacious apartment. Characterful with modern features. Excellent location

Firstly, not an apartment for those with mobility difficulties. There are stairs leading from the ground floor equaling around 2 flights. Hand rail on right so coming down was difficult for father in law as not only mobility needs, but left broken shoulder. I was aware of these, but not of the stairs in the apartment up to bedrooms and en-suites. So when you need the toilet you have to go upstairs. Maybe this should be highlighted on the description. A lovely apartment though and I would highly recommend if no mobility requirements. Wonderful long hallway that is quite a stopper when you first open the apartment door. Stunning window in lounge area that runs from floor to ceiling across the wall. Single glazed with Safety glass barrier in front of window. Although it was only 18 degrees, it was sunny and the lounge/ dining room became hot. There was one window around 50cm x 50cm which was slightly open. I would not like to be there in the height of summer. It would definitely benefit from an air conditioning unit in that area as there is no other proper ventilation on that floor. Large Sofa so lots of seating. It was very low. Lovely dining table and table and stools too. Nespresso machine and 4 pods and tea bags. In fact nice kitchen and everything you need really and good quality. Excellent American fridge freezer with cold water and ice maker. High spec with Alexa and lots of smart features. A twin room overlooking terrace to back of property. Double with en-suite shower to front. Would definitely be noisy during busy periods and if windows needed to be open. Excellent mattresses, nice bedding and towels. Whole apartment clean and I am quite particular. There is a lot of Glass and chrome and almost all light fittings being glass. They could definitely do with a good wash and brighten. The one in dining room did not give a good impression when eating as it was above the table.

Things mentioned above were minor, but I would not have chosen the apartment if I had known about the stairs in the actual unit for mobility needs, but I would definitely recommend for others

The place itself is really nice and the location is great.

The company are possibly the worst I’ve ever stayed with. Firstly they charged a damage fee which is not stated the price of anywhere on booking.com. It’s now been 5 weeks since our stay and I am still yet to receive our parking cost reimbursement with the team putting it off every time I email… will we ever get the money back? I doubt it! Free parking is not true. The outdoor roof top flooring needs some work too as some parts are broken. All of this is a shame because the place itself is great.
