Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is consistently described as clean, with no negative comments on cleanliness, indicating high standards are maintained.
The central location is highly praised for its convenience and proximity to shops, restaurants, and beautiful views, despite some comments about noise and parking challenges.
The property is considered comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen and great views. However, some guests find the beds uncomfortable and the noise levels disruptive to sleep.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-stocked kitchen, but some guests were inconvenienced by the lack of a washing machine, dishwasher, and issues with hot water supply.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Great property in a central location with everything on the doorstep. Beautiful views that we never got tired of looking at. The flat was very clean and extremely well equipped, the only thing I couldn't find was a hairdryer (looked in all the obvious places). If we had to state a negative comment the bathroom and toilet were dated. Saying that, we would still return in the future.

Only negative parking was a nightmare never any spaces available in carpark. Next time we book will definitely look for a property with parking.
