A stunning aspect, handy to everything, by car or walking. The views were remarkable. There is quite a lot of road noise, but to be expected, it didnt disturb sleep. The dining chairs need to be replaced as soon as possible the vinyl is all cracked and split and a couple of the chairs are actually unsafe to sit on. A very comfortable apartment, but a bit tired. Would I stay again, at that price only if the furniture was fixed up and the curtains rehung.

Thank you for your comments.

The view was beautiful and the living area was spacious. The second bed room was an unusual shape making it small for two single beds. All of the beds were very hard. They urgently need to replace the mattresses or at the very least get toppers.
