    Great location - close to restaurants, bars, pharmacy and woolworths. Also close (if you ahve a Hire Car) to City Centre (V&A). Easy enough to get the keys - we met the helper at an arranged time and she handed them over. Maybe I'd suggest a keypad to avoid this? But you do need to have a car park key card so not sure how that would work! :) Lovely, clean apartment with cooking facilities. I'd stay here again.
