The cleaning was mentioned as superficial with smear marks on surfaces, indicating room for improvement in this area.

The location is frequently praised for being ideal and convenient, close to local amenities and transport links.

While the bed was noted as comfortable, multiple reviews mentioned uncomfortable seating in the lounge, affecting the overall comfort level.

There is insufficient information to accurately score facilities and maintenance as the reviews provide mixed feedback, with some positive comments about kitchen appliances but also concerns about electrical fittings and lack of property handbook.

Guests appreciated the high-quality towels and kitchenware. No gifts were mentioned, so while the property shows thoughtfulness in some areas, it cannot be guaranteed in the form of gifts.

    Overall we enjoyed our visit.

    Unfortunately the settee although looked nice and fitted in well with the decor, it was not comfortable enough for a relaxing evening indoors. We ended up sitting on the dining chairs with a cushion each from the settee so we could watch TV, shame as rest of apartment spot on.

    Whilst the decorative order was fairly new the colour scheme was definitely not to our taste and did not suit the rooms. The advertising photos of the property were cleverly taken giving a false impression of the space. The crockery was of good quality and plentiful. The kitchen appliances were fairly new, however, we did not need to use them. The bed was quite comfortable but very creaky and we doubt the bedroom light fitting would comply with electrical regs.
