    Feefo rating: double plus Service:

    From the check- in to my departure , I was given the most excellent service. My request for early check-in was graciously granted, the meet and greet staff were very warm and helpful and I will definitely be recommending them to people and will be staying at property again. The return of damage deposit was prompt. The whole process was very professional and cordial.

    Lovely apartment, great location. May need a little bit of TLC in 2016 but perfectly comfortable. It should be highlighted though that there are 71 stairs to reach the apartment.
