Comfortable and cosy apartment
Comfortable and cosy. Great views and access to river walks, park lands and major shopping centre with everything you need practically at the front doorstep (after a short walk up hill!) Undercover car park was available which was great so that our car wasn't parked on the street.
Kitchen was well appointed and having access to a bathroom for each room was appreciated.
Lovely apartment, beautiful views, comfy beds. The main bedroom TV did not work, this was not an issue for us though. It is at the bottom of a steep hill, you have to climb 2 x 4 flights of stairs to get to the main road, however it is only a short walk to the Highpoint shopping centre in the other direction. This was a great apartment for the price, I recommend.

Great Location
Good apartment. Good instructions to find and access. Clean and well equipped . Wonderful view ,very enjoyable. Beds firm. WI FI very hit and miss.
The place was nice unfortunately the communication was disappointing, wasn’t able to get onto wifi and the link to their property guide did not work digitally and there was no physical copy so was unsure about property care rules or wifi passwords

The apartment was lovely once we got there. GPS couldn’t find it tho as it was down a hill hidden and not next to the number it should be in the street so this should be explained. How to use fob to get in and use lift wernt explained. Hard to get hold of anyone to help. Took me 2.5hrs but finally got sorted. Lovely place tho
