Jane
Would of liked a fan in bedrooms as it was very warm and having the window open ment being disturbed by the noise on the street which ended around 12pm with the clash of bottles being emptied, and started again around 5.30am so not a good night's sleep was had. The location is great. And is very clean, beds are comfortable, and so are the sofa's.

The apartment was extremely clean which was great. So close to the centre yet quiet. It generally had everything you need for a stay although we would have appreciated a full size chopping board to prepare meals on, and a pizza cutter would have been handy as we ate in every night. All in all recommended!
