Really great stay.

Beautifully appointed apartment, spacious, well equipped and comfortable. We were close to the main road, which gave a bit of traffic noise, but it was in no way annoying or disturbing. Short walk to the New World supermarket and good pubs and restaurants.

The room is clean and in good condition, however, my room is at the corner of the motel and facing the main road, the heavy trucks passing through were very noisy. Didn’t rest well due to the noise, and I was wearing my earplugs.

Host helpful. Small kitchen convenient and room spotless. The room, however, very noisy. It faces the main highway through town, and so loud during business hours. I closed the street facing curtains as no privacy and used earplugs.
