The apartment, the views; everything was stunning, even in February when the weather wasn't the best, I can only imagine how much better the views would be in spring/summer Brilliant facilities all easy to use and manuals in welcome packs if you ain't sure how to use something. Not to far away from shops/pubs/attractions so you feel secluded enough for privacy but not too far away from anywhere you might want to visit My only downsides I can say (and they're not really make or break things) the bed and pillows was more on the softer side, which is okay; I personally just prefer a firmer bed. The couch is a little low to the floor, but again, not a huge problem, unless you struggle with mobility I LOVE how the main rooms lights are all separate so you can just light the area(s) of the room you are using, but I often found myself switching lights off and on to get the lights on/off in the right area(s) so my only suggestion is to label each switch accordingly. This wasn't a problem, I think it would be a nice quality of life change for ease of use; I stayed for 4 nights and never got my head around each switch. And you definitely need to be careful with your head as the roof is rather low and taller people will definitely bang your head if you're not careful. All that being said, I have already recommended this stay to friends and I will definitely be booking again around summer to see how much more beautiful it can be without rain

So much so, most of the time I sat on the floor. The bed was only a bit better. Every morning I woke with my back hurting.
