Shower equipment needs a spring clean and keeps slipping down pole

Perfekt läge och fräscht boende
Liten lägenhet som passar familj med mindre barn. Väldigt centralt med gångavstånd till allt, exempelvis 5 min till Victoria Street.
Ligger på en bakgata som inte ser så trevlig ut men boendet var väldigt bra och tyst område.
Rekommenderas varmt!
