    We really enjoyed our stay and made use of the proximity to get around for the festival and the tattoo.

    The extra shower wasn’t good to use so all used the one shower in a bath. Unfortunately the one toilet was in that room which was awkward with 5. Better use of shower room as an extra toilet.

    Good location with lots of choice for eating out plus public transport. Plenty of space for a party of 5 adults. Had everything we needed available.

    Bathroom looking a bit shabby around the edges and couldn’t easily close bathroom door. Be good if could not leave Henry the Hoover in the entryway hallway as looks a bit unkempt, disorganised. A dryer would have been nice but understand not essential.

    Spacious and light apartment, lovely high ceilings, modern kitchen, good sized bedrooms, comfortable beds, close to restaurants and public transport, good shower, washing machine, 2 hair-dryers, convenient for everything, quiet internally.

    One of the sofas was rather hard, but otherwise nothing. Advice to not use the car park App would be useful- charged us £82 for 48 hours!

    Bright, airy, spacious apartment with all good quality home comforts. Very clean and well laid out. Close to the city and local amenities.

    2 loos would have been good instead of 1 and some of the windows didn’t lock, the flat was quite warm so we had to open them for a through draft. Take into account the fact you will have to pay for parking and pre-book, it was £50 for a weekend and a 5 min walk plus £2 on the bus each way to town but easier than driving in the centre for sure.

    Big airy rooms and plenty of space. Just round the corner from the bus stop into town. 2 showers was good as we had 5 staying. Enough linen/towels crockery and cutlery.

    Would recommend a topmatress on the double bed tho. We could feel the springs in the matress . But it was alright

    I liked everything, the location, the cleaning, how to get there, how to get the key, the interior, the kitchen supplies, the grocerystores nearby, and the restaurant right below us had really good food and service! perfect perfect perfect!

    Bathroom a little small and the radiator was close to door, which makes it difficult to close. Also heating kept coming on the morning but couldn’t turn off !

    Very convenient and spacious. Very near shops and a few nice little restaurants

    The accommodation was modern well decorated and clean . The bedding was very good as well . Very comfortable apartment. We asked for a few hours extra before checking out due to our flight . We were granted half an hour which was fair enough. Lovely people to deal with .

    A bit of a walk to the center of everything. But the quiet area at night made up for that.

    The rooms were excellent. Quiet area. Self check in and out was so easy.

    The apartment was great. It was clean, quiet and comfy. Even though we were out and about most of the time, we loved getting back to it. The beds are a bit on the harder side (for me) and we had problems trying to figure out how/when the heating works 😅 but other than that, you have everything that you need. One of us ended up in a hospital the last day and they were kind enough to prolong our check out time. The customer service was nice and understanding. Also, the place is a short walk from everything you need (might not seem like that on the map but when you're there it's easy to get around). All in all, loved this place!

    It would be helpful to have black out curtains during summer to aid with sleep. The rooms were bright in June so hard to sleep in the night.

    The apartment was spacious, clean, bright and felt like home! Excellent location with city centre just a mile away.
