Great staff in customer service. But had check in issues and very small bathroom without separate dry and wet area
There is a grocery shop nearby, which make it very convenient, and all the cooking stuff is there to use too. But we didn’t get any view.

Bathroom set up was awkward. Water all over the floor when taking a shower. Kitchen could have some of the essentials like salt/pepper, coffee, tea, etc. Pillows were very flat, would have liked an extra. And an additional towel per person would be nice.

The check in was relatively easy, except the mobile key didn’t work but was able to get a real key. The apartment is clean with nice view. The location is close to Downtown and all activities pickup is within 5-10 minutes walk. The staff is very responsive. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

The room was smaller than the pictures indicated. Parking in this area if you choose to get a rental car is not ideal at all.

Yes. They were able to check us in earlier as the room was available. We were grateful for that even though it’s unmanned. They were quite responsive through email as well.
Good location, feel and look of property was very nice. Close to shops and pub/restaurants.
However construction next door was loud. Bins were not empty ahead of our stay. Bed was not comfortable.

The location was great but there was a lack of understanding of how many bathrooms a 2 bedroom unit contained. We assumed two - one for each bedroom - but there was only one. Four adults and one child sharing 1 bathroom was not the easiest. I wish that would have been conveyed in the description better. Additionally the light switches were very confusing. Nothing was labeled or identified. After 3 days, we still didn’t get it figured out. We just continually had to push buttons.
