Walking distance from shops, restaurants, cinemas makes it a perfect location. Apartment spacious - very light, but hot when sun shining in. Imagine summer months would need all windows/doors open as glass all round but there are some fans provided. We caught Storm Norman so wind and rain interspersed with some sun. Lovely apartment but some things overlooked - reed diffusers there but empty, clean but dust on ledges, carpet edges and mirrors, no fan in en-suite, no instructions to turn shower on (pull long cord behind door), broken catch on second bedroom window. Sounds like an episode of 'Four in a bed' (being picky) but it didn't spoil the enjoyment of our stay as the apartment as a whole, location, views and underground parking space made it a perfect place to stay to explore Plymouth and surrounding areas.

So near to everything: the railway station, the ferry across to Mount ,Edgecombe, the Hoe, Barbican, aquarium, restaurants and cafes, shopping and night life. Beds comfortable, kitchen well equipped, modern bathrooms. Extractor fan in bathroom was not working and there was a smell first thing in the morning. We were lucky to have booked out of season, as we couldnât afford the summer prices, but very good value in early February.
