The en-suite to the main bedroom has a great power shower that runs from the boiler. The apartment has great views, was very clean and is really well furnished and was in a great location for us. We wouldn't recommend it for people that have mobility issues since it's up several flights of stairs and the surroundings are quite hilly. Overall a really great place to stay.
