The property served us well for what we needed. Was close to mercy hospital for our son’s surgery, and supermarket and gardens down the road a short walk away. Extra blankets could be handy for on couch in cooler months but was warm otherwise. Parking suitable for smaller cars.

Our 2 bedroom unit was very damp smelling. The windows are not double glazed so they do run when you wake up in the morning. I opened up all the windows each day but couldn’t get rid of the smell. Bathroom vinyl needs replacing.

This property was exactly as the photos showed on the website. Very clean and in a handy location. The staff were extremely helpful. Great communication and they did exactly as they said they would. The beds were not overly comfortable, quite hard. This however is really depends on what kind of bed you prefer to sleep on. Overall totally impressed and great value for money.
