Nice little outdoor space with table and chairs for breakfast. Near to shops, restaurants and good public transport. Only downside was we were not able to turn on the ceramic hob despite reading the instructions.

The property was really comfortable and exceptionally clean anx the complimentary biscuits and milk were very well received. The only improvements my group would suggest is a lock on the bathroom door anx a hanging rail for clothes in the upstairs bedroom..
