"Stayed in the penthouse - it was a huge apartment and was generally very functional, despite a few quirks. The view across the lake was very satisfying and could be enjoyed from the balcony or just sitting in armchairs inside with a coffee. TVs were new, big and easily connected to Netflix and YouTube (bonus points). Beds were firm but acceptable, bathrooms were huge but basic (some extra towel rails wouldn't go astray), had a nice work desk and office chair for the unfortunate work distractions...
