Very convenient location- a little TLC inside would help.

The flat is super convenient for all that Durham has to offer. There is a great selection of bars and restaurants and fantastic sites to visit. A very useful parking space was really useful. The decoration inside the flat is good however the bathrooms and kitchen could do with some attention. The hot water was not much more than a trickle that made showering challenging. The kitchen equipment was lacking - only 1 water glass and mug- but overall a pleasant stay. Be aware of the church bells striking all through the night. A little loud when you have to have the windows open because it was so hot.

Comfortable and great location!

We were quite happy in this apartment for a week while my husband attended a conference and the rest of us explored Durham. The location was fantastic - with nearby restaurants and grocery - and very near the center of town. Our mapping software stated that every walk was "mostly flat" which was misleading to someone who lives where everything truly is flat - but we enjoyed walking across the river to explore the castle and cathedral! The only real challenge is that my husband is 6'7" tall and he had to be careful to not hit his head on the spiral staircase when entering the living area.
