Amazing location and the apartment was everything as described. Each room was separated with very heavy automatically closing fire door, so it was very hard for our children to open them or navigate through the apartment themselves. Would stay here again if there was door stops available, or when the children are older.

Understandably there were no bottles of scotch in the cupboard. But then again, where were we? 😁 However, Some oil for cooking, and topping up the salt and pepper would help. Otherwise, a lovely high tech comfortable place in the heart of everything. Thank you

Location was perfect, easy to get to from Waverly. Apartment was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. A few cons, the bed in the onsuite room was awful, you could feel every spring in the mattress. It bowed so bad that you felt like you were going to fly out of it everytime you moved. There were also no plugs in the bathrooms which made it difficult to use the hair dryer.
