The view is outstanding. The apartment is modern, clean and comfortable. There are nIce touches like smart central heating for the chilly first thing in the mornings. The only downside is the lack of sun on the balcony and the wind that can whip in making it cold at this time of year. The apartment is so convenient to all amenities. We will definitely be back
