The Apt was clean with the exception of the bathroom which needed a new shower curtain and a thorough cleaning. This apartment is in a great location. Easy access to everything and everything is pretty walkable. Plenty of good restaurants around and the owner was responsive. Only warning which didnt bother us was that the floor was loud when you walked but we are not light sleepers. Would stay again ##### briana c.

Well supplied with everything you needed Easy to book and lots of corraspondance with the agents. Only thing that let the apartment down was the shower room. The mould on the ceiling and shower curtain and the dirty shower trap so the water didn't go down causing it to flood the room. Apart from that would stop there again but just wouldn't use the shower. ##### mandy m. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve C. Nov 10, 2024 ##### Steve C.
