Heather
There was minimal noise from other flats. It was almost perfect for our stay Just 2 concerns the first being the sofa; It really isn't comfortable and is too low to get up from. Secondly the parking could be an issue; it states road side parking. However, parking is a garage in the street opposite. Whilst it is good to have guaranteed secure parking, if we had travelled in our Landrover we would not have been able to use it. The garage is only suitable for a small car and a good driver to get it in within the space. Kerbside parking in the area is restricted so be aware when booking.

Itâs a home away from home, so clean and bright, really spacious and the parking is a huge bonus.
