Beautiful apartment in stunning location

Apartment, as described, in a stunning location. Spotlessly clean and easy check in . Nice selection of restaurants and bars on site with friendly and professional staff. Only issue was that extensive building work was taking place outside the apartment and noise started around 7.30 in the morning. It didn't spoil our stay but may need to be considered if you like a lie in.

Business Trip

The apartment was very nice, and in a great location. Everything you could require for your stay is provided. I really enjoyed my time there. I was there for business, it worked really well for me, the internet was fast space to work separate from the bedroom. I could also have colleges round to chat/work if required. This apartment would also be perfect for a family with the 2 bedrooms and nice size open plan living room and kitchen/diner.

Hmm not again

It was an expensive stay considering that I'd already paid £91.25 and then to be told that i needed to pay a £60.00 service charge. This was not clear and the time of booking, so was suprised to get hit with a service charge - not quite sure what service i got. The room was very hot, small and lots of noise outside. I will not be staying again.
