The velux windows meant the apartment was a pleasant airy space even though our stay was during very hot weather. It made a very good base for our stay in Chester - thank you very much.

Ideally place for Chester Town and very quiet. The owner, Chris , was friendly and helpful. The only thing I can say on a personal like/dislike is I found the Sofa really uncomfortable. Just my opinion. Everything else was great . We all had a great stay . I would definitely recommend.

Bus stop 4 mins walk away or city centre about 25 mins . Close to the motorway to North Wales . We had a day in Liverpool on the train via bus from outside property straight to the station and regular trains. Next day we travelled to the North Welsh coast by car very easy . Last day a morning in Chester walking the walls and shopping and eating -very enjoyable. Will definitely be back and will recommend to everyone I know .
