The accommodation was centrally located and would definitely look to stay again
Pros:

We had lunch at Oscars. Very good service, excellent food and value for money.

Cons:

There were a couple of things that probably should be provided with the apartments :
- 11B - one of the bedrooms did not have any heating/cooling
- 11B - the toilet door could not be locked
- no pot Scrubbers/brushes, microwave covers provided in the kitchen/kitchenettes

Great location
Pros:

Beds were super comfy and the bedrooms had lots of space and places to put things. Instructions on key collection clear and simple, parking right outside the door. It's a fantastic location with easy walk to the main centre.

Cons:

The unit had a connecting door to the next door unit and there was no soundproofing. We could clearly hear the conversations of the people in the adjoining accommodation especially when talking in the bathrooms cause of the echo. Had no idea where to leave the key as there was no instruction or key drop area so left it in the room and texted - would have liked to know as makes leaving smoother.
