Hidden inner city gem
Pros:

Hidden away in the back lanes of the inner city with parking provided which needs to be booked ahead for a fee, but it makes things easy, so highly recommended. Understated but elegant reception area. Very clean and tidy, comfy bed, no street noise, pod coffee machine is a nice touch.

Cons:

Everything was fine, the website photos are true images, although the 2 bed apartments lounge smaller in real life than in photos, but it was just a 3 of us, so it wasn’t a problem.

Pros:

The location was excellent and the apartment had all the advertised amenities. Loved the inclusion of the small dishwasher. Friendly and helpful staff that greeted us with a smile.

Cons:

The heating was hard to turn down and being on the ground floor meant windows couldn’t be left open. Slightly outdated bathroom.

Great Stay at Gilmer Apartments
Pros:

We had a very enjoyable stay at Gilmer Apartments. The location was excellent, making it easy to get around and explore the area. The room was the perfect size, comfortable, well-appointed, and had everything I needed for my stay. The apartment was clean and comfortable, and overall it offered fantastic value for money. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for convenient and affordable accommodation.

Cons:

The only downside was that the dishes in the kitchen area were not cleaned or rinsed, which I would have preferred to be part of the service.
