Very large clean apartment. Perfect for romantic getaway. The only negative is if you are over 70 or disabled, getting into the bath/shower with its huge step up is really dangerous and especially risky when wet. So be aware.

Kitchen was well equipped for short or long stays. The apartment we stayed in needs some minor cupboard repairs, and the microwave didn’t work, but otherwise very suitable. Large amount of building works going on in common areas and apartments - this was not conveyed in online booking until after payment went through. Otherwise great spot to base yourself from. Just be careful if a late checkout is organised. Despite confirming the night before checkout we were locked out of our room, thankfully there is a limited reception on site.
