The apartment was perfect for us. (3 adults). Sofabed was comfortable. Lots of storage in bedroom. Clean on arrival. Spare towels. Good bathroom. Kitchen well kitted out. Great central location.
The apartment was great, very nice and very comfortable. The supermarket around the corner was very handy. There was nothing else we would want from an apartment and we would recommend it.
'The flat was lovely, a really relaxing haven.'
The apartment was great, perfect location and great to have the extra space. So only good feedback! Meet and greet was also good and very friendly. Its a lovely place - shame we only had 3 days there really. (Aug.08)
