The bed we used was very comfortable! Plenty of cupboard space, hooks behind bathroom doors and good showers. Our only criticism is the total absence of instructions for anything in the place. The fridge, washing machine etc were fairly straightforward but faced with an induction hob for the very first time, there was a steep learning curve. It took time we didn't want to waste acquiring instructions online, and the first evening this was impossible as there was no internet and it took us some time to find the dongle (hidden behind the shoe rack in the hall). Once this was reset all worked fine with only occasional drop-outs over the holiday. Overall we had a wonderful holiday but please provide an instruction folder as most places do!

The apartment exceeded our expectations and was absolutely beautiful. A lot of thought has gone into the fittings and furnishings to provide a comfortable space. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay again sometime.

We took the 2 keys off the key ring and kept trying somehow we donât know how we managed to get in the mortise lock was broken. 2 agents arrived 30 mins later with wd40. Which was not needed we told them that the lock was Jamed it would need replacing we just used the top lock all week. 2nd bedroom in advert said it would be set up as a king it was not the cleaner was not coming till the next day we found linen in cupboard and changed it ourselves. This should not have had to be done. Not good enough
