This apt was beautifully appointed and right in the middle of all the sights. Many restaurants to choose from and easy walking to a convenience store or grocery for necessary items. The ability to be able to leave your luggage before and after your stay is a valuable asset. Would highly recommend this property

Excellent location for all sightseeing and City action. Stayed in room 1. Accommodation was clean and well equipped. Need a socket next to any of the mirrors to plug in a hairdryer Living room needs a coffee table (causing us to not use the room). Slight noise could be heard from nearby pubs/eateries but quietened down at around 11pm. Would stay again for sure.

Amazing location and the apartment was everything as described. Each room was separated with very heavy automatically closing fire door, so it was very hard for our children to open them or navigate through the apartment themselves. Would stay here again if there was door stops available, or when the children are older.
