Welcome pack much appreciated. It was tricky to see which was the coded lock for our apartment as there are three of them by the front door and the writing on them identifying them was illegible on all of them. It would make it easier if the writing was redone. No scissors in the apartment either despite an otherwise very well stocked kitchen. The kitchen clock had stopped too! Only minor things. It wasn't obvious from the booking information what would happen with the parking arrangements and how the permit was obtained for the car park. This was resolved with phone call. Would definitely like to return.

Also we were really impressed with the bus service; convenient and comfortable. Not having to do any more driving was a bonus. The only minor problem was with the shower where the water was very slow on draining. The agency help was really good when we had a query. Were thinking of booking again for Spring!
