Perfect spot

This small studio apartment was perfect for a two-night stay in Chester. Located in the heart of harbor business district, it was conveniently located for walking to several restaurants and points of interest. The apartment was immaculately clean and well-appointed. One recommendation would be another sitting chair would allow for more comfortable lounging for two people. I would definitely stay here again!

Well Located Accommodation

The studio style accommodation was clean with a fairly well equipped kitchen. The bathroom is quite modern and the hot water came through quickly to the shower. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable for my liking. I found it a little lumpy and stiff as well as it has one side up against the wall if there are two people staying. The one thing that was definitely a detractor is a very noisy wall clock that makes a loud tick with every passing second. Also of note, is that you need to be able to climb stairs at the back of the building to gain access to the studio. Persons with walking difficulties or disabilities should look for another location. Otherwise as the saying goes, location, location, location and this place is ideally sited near restaurants, a brewery and local shops all within easy walking distance for most anyone. I would recommend this place with noted comments by me that should be considered.

Charming spot. Clean, quite new, felt fresh. Walkable to most everything. We were there for a performance at the Chester playhouse, basically around the corner. Which was also amazing a their newly built facility.
