36. Well equipped and with a stunning view. Towels and linens provided. The wall bed is not the most comfortable but we booked in the full knowledge that this was fitted. Inclusive parking is a real bonus.

Parking is a big bonus. The only comment is that the pull down double bed is quite small, so not suitable for some adult couples. Otherwise really enjoyed the stay, thank you.

This is hidden in the body of the text as âwall bedâ (which I mistakenly thought was a bed against the wall) but no clear information that this is a pull-down or photos (as is the case in other apartments in the block). We had to leave it down as strapping bedding up and lifting it up was too much. The bed itself is rickety, thin foam mattresses and slats â very uncomfortable and resulted in back pain. I would not have booked this apartment knowing this. Other than the inaccurate listing the apartment was of good quality. It is a shame that with less furniture and smaller kitchen the room could have been designed with a permeant bed space.
