Enjoyed stay. Great welcome pack. Very happy generally. Fab location. Lights a bit problematic in evening. Entry dark and no light working from top of stairs and also entry to flat. Would also be good to have light that is motion activated outside. Bit dark for 80+ year old.

There were two fish restaurants with similar names and this property was located inside one of the restaurants in a very narrow side street. This made parking and taking our luggage out of the car near the property a nightmare. The parking provided was up a very steep hill and inconvenient to carry our luggage. The approach to the apartment through the restaurant created a very poor impression as it was dirty and smelly. Greater effort should be made to keep the place clean and up to hygiene standards. The inside of the apartment living room was very poorly furnished with a very worn out ragged looking sofa and a dirty reclining chair.
