Kitchen well supplied. Office staff very helpful. There wasnt a separate bedroom, rather half wall separation. We liked the garden area. Hardly any storage for clothes etc. Needs some wall hooks, shelves & better sized closet for guests staying a few days. Very centrally located area for restaurants, groceries etc.

The location of the apartment is great. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Very few room amenities in that there was no shampoo or conditioner in the bathroom, no skin cream and no coffee capsule refills each day. There was also construction going on at the apartment next door so sitting outside meant listening to drilling and hammering all day. But it was clean and it was nice to have a kitchen for breakasts in, and room to spread out.

Excellent apart-hotel

Excellent studio apartment, 1 block off the main pedestrian shopping street, and close to many sights. lots of restaurants shopping nearby, including supermarkets and wine stores. Speak with the agency several days at least before your arrival date to secure a parking space a few doors down the street. You will pass it on your right when you arrive up the street, you might be able to temporarily to park illegally in front of a delivery door across the street. Excellent service and hosts. My only concern could be the lack of an elevator for some people.Highly recommended!

The location was great but the sofa bed was very squeaky and the room temperature was extremely cold even with the heaters on, they should provide extra blankets. The apartment itself was confortable because it had room to cook.

Absolutely deserves the high rating it has! Superb location within easy walking distance of everything, with great transport links nearby if walking isn’t your thing. The property itself has everything you could need (the iron was missing but I’m sure this would have been provided had I asked). Great communication before and throughout my stay. Clean, cosy and comfortable with air con. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and would definitely stay again (though perhaps not on the 3rd floor!) Fantastic!

The property was located in a great location. We were late for check-in; however, everything worked out just fine. The only comments I have to make is that we didn't have the WIFI information in our apartment. It was left in the corridor which we were not informed about. This occurred because they were transitioning to a new wifi provider. My only other comment is that the pillows are terrible and should be replaced. The bed was very comfortable. I would definitely recommended staying here though. I would come back.

You can see a photograph of a lovely room in their ad, but ours wasn't it. We were put in the back, on the ground floor, beside a sad little yard. We had NO WINDOWS that we could see out of, only a frosted glass door and a tiny high-up frosted porthole window! Most problematically, we were depending upon internet for our jobs and IT DIDN'T WORK! They claimed to be surprised and said they'd turn it off and on again, defensively claimed they'd never had this problem before, but nothing was fixed, they didn't inquire or try to make it right, and seemed irritated that we were having a problem. They also directed us to a restaurant that was permanently closed, and said we needn't make reservations for dinner at area restaurants (we went from place to place and couldn't find any good place that had space. All of them said you needed a reservation). But the internet was a killer. I ended up forking over extra to pay for Vodaphone on my home plan, which didn't seem to work well in that space either. We will never stay here again.

Good apartments. Comfortable and with good location (not the best, but good enough). The only downside is that we had a 4th floor room, with no elevator, so I recommend you travel light. Would stay here again.
