We didn’t see any staff which is the reason for our rating. Our apartment was good just wished we had a coffee maker and toaster. The car park is behind the building could use some upgrades.

The property did not meet our expectations for the following reasons: 1) There was no free parking available between 4pm and 10am, unlike what the property description said. They sent us an email saying they have free parking at a certain place opposite our apartment, but when we went there the parking was already full, so clearly they have less spaces available than they have apartments, and it's first come first served, so we had to park in the P2 area which is not free. 2) The walls are too thin and we could hear a lot of noise coming from the neighbour unit waking us up very early in the morning 3) The bathroom light is sensor-activated, but once it's on, it will stay on for a good 20 minutes with no way of switching it off. This can be very annoying when someone is trying to sleep. Even closing the bathroom door doesn't always help and a lot of light comes through in the bedroom anyway. 4) The two "bedrooms" (i.e. the proper bedroom and the living room with a sofa bed) are connected at the top (the wall between them is only 2/3 high compared to the ceiling) so there is also zero sound insulation between the two sleeping areas.

Wonderful stay!

We had to stay an extra night as weather conditions made it impossible to continue on our road trip. We booked a second night and the owners very kindly allowed us to stay in the same room which was greatly appreciated. We would recommend staying here.

We had a good 2 night stay in February, and enjoyed the facilities provided. The insulation of the room wasn’t fantastic and we woke up with puddles of water on the window seal. This must be a recurring issue as there was some mould on the curtains.

These apartments have potential to be perfect but lacking minor things that ruin your stay. Firstly, great it offers parking with it being central, good location with plenty of things surrounding to eat, explore and shop. Easy check in (emailed to you prior but no one about should you have any problems). First impression - apartment large, great facilities, comfortable and everything you needed should you decide not to go out. Large bathroom with walk on shower, sofa and tv, dining table, fridge, microwave etc. however quickly noticed how dirty it was. Crumbs all over the counter and in drawers, sink dirty, bathroom around toilet filthy, cupboard door missing, screw on floor and one in cupboard, towels solid, small and had a funny smell so we used our own.
