Overnight stay

The layout of the apartment was comfortable enough. The space between bed and wardrobe a bit on the tight side. The lack of kitchen equipment very disappointing. Just two of everything, no knife or cutting board to slice a tomato etc and only two bowls and two side plates, no main size plates. We had to use face washer to dry the cups as no tea towel was supplied. For the price we paid it was disappointing.

The staff were friendly and helpful, room was clean. Not sure if dispenser in bathroom was a shampoo/ conditioner combo but conditioner dispenser empty and no body lotion was the only thing I missed. Otherwise could not fault my accommodation.
