The apartment was was great. Very roomy, clean, neat and tidy. Everything we needed for a comfortable couple of nights stay and it would certainly suit a longer stay. The hosts were very responsive and checked in via message several times. The location was perfect. Short driving distance to shopping and the event we were in the city for. Easy access to highway and major routes and convenient free parking. Thanks.

I had a wonderful stay at Armadale Retreat. The host was incredibly communicative and welcoming. The location was perfect. And the accomodation was comfortable. Super clean, a warm atmosphere, all the amenities needed, and very quiet and peaceful - especially appreciated being on a work trip. I would stay again and recommend highly.Thank you again Antonio
