Apartment was perfect with only one comment re the comfort of the sofas. As the weather wasnât great, we did spend some time in the apartment and they werenât comfortable enough to lounge on. Otherwise, location, facilities, having an en-suite each, perfect.

2 little complaints though . As other guests have said , a small coffee table would be nice ,so you have somewhere to put your drinks instead of on the floor ! And secondly the bedding (sheets / mattress protector ) in the master bedroom do not fit the bed correctly and every night found them coming adrift .
