The stay was great and would recommend to others.
Pros:

The location was excellent and we really liked that it was walking distance to everything. The facilities were great, we had everything we needed.

Cons:

It would have been better if we knew sooner that the keys were to be picked up at a different location. it was still a good experience.

Location - Excellent; Views - Stunning; Value for money - Excellent. Would stay here again
Pros:

Location is excellent, onsite parking included (a little tight to park but manageable).
The standout is the view from the balcony.
Easy to walk to everything, the apartment has everything you need.
It is an older building and could do with a lick of paint inside but seriously, that is such a minor thing to worry about.
I would definitely stay here again!

Cons:

Maybe painting the interior to give it a lift
