The apartment is very well maintained has a fridge and cutlery, a microwave. Close to the harbour. Easy accessibility to the room with the code. Many restaurants near by if you want to eat outside. Bonus and Kronos is also walking distance. Staff did respond and allowed me early check in because of the weather.

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.

Price is indicative of property. We self checked in with a code but staff was responsive via Expedia messaging. They upgraded us to a Deluxe room with a microwave, which was appreciated. There is no staff onsite. The property was recently updated but it's modest; the towels are past their useful life and the dishes and cutlery had not been washed properly.
