Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The apartment was well presented, comfortable and clean. The view from the balcony was idyllic when the sun disappeared and a lovely place to relax. The bathrooms were equipped with shower gel, shampoo and conditioner as well as hairdryer. Plenty of space in the fridge for longer stays. Ample crockery etc to cook up a storm if you so choose. The main bed was maybe getting close to needing replacing and pillows were too high/ thick for my comfort. So if you have a favourite pillow take it with you. Failing that I would suggest contact Jerry for lower ones. Perhaps Jerry could leave two in the cupboard. There was plenty of cupboard space and a safe. The cheesy Doritos were a pleasant treat.

Great location, very quiet on the river side. Beautiful sunsets. Communicating was very easy. It’s great having a dog friendly apartment that doesn’t stipulate sizes! My 30kg poodle mix is basically a very large cat/couch potato. He loved lying on the balcony watching the water (jumping fish!) The apartment is not far from the main walking/cycling path, shops and transport if needed to get to amusement parks. Parking was easy and the garage has a 2.2m height.
