Guests find the apartment comfortable, particularly noting the bed and living space. Some guests mentioned the need for better pillows and sofa cushions, indicating that while comfort is generally good, there are areas that could be enhanced.
The facilities are adequate, with special mentions of private parking and a well-proportioned living room. However, guests have suggested that kitchen equipment and maintenance require attention, including the need for sharper knives and better cooking utensils.

Kathryn
The location is excellent. The apartment has everything needed for a comfortable stay but is now looking tired and in need of a refresh. The wardrobes/cupboards outside the bathroom are cluttered leaving little room for storage.

Perfect central location. Shops, buses and restaurants nearby. Was there for the third time. Only downside was the bed. It was a bit lumpy.
