For a 1 bedroom flat, this place is amazing. In fact, I didn't want to leave.... The whole place is comfortable and homely. The sofas in the living room are now on my list to buy for my own house. The kitchen has everything in it that you could need. (including cling film and foil). Spotlessly clean. The garden was a great addition. I genuinely can't praise the place enough! Being able to park around the back also came in useful as it is a popular street. I am familiar with the area so always knew the location would be perfect for us. Shops and a few great pubs around the corner. Short walk to the metro station. Short walk to Spanish city and the beach. This trip has reconfirmed why I want to relocate up there. However while that isn't an option, I'll just have to book to stay again (already looking at dates)
