    Parking was a little tricky but we worked it out. It’s free after 5:30pm and all weekend too, which was great.

    Nothing really, just that the apartment is on the ground floor? It wasn't really a privacy problem, though, as the location doesn't have a lot of people walking around.

    We really liked how modern and spacious it was! Also the location is quite good as we walked just 45 minutes to the castle and a supermarket was right around the corner. Also, there was the possibility to park our car quite cheaply some streets further. Steven was really understanding and easy to reach as our arrival time wasn't easy to pinpoint. Basic necessities like shower soap and even adapter were there.

    We didnt like, the noisy neighbours upstairs stomping around...but it wouldn't put us off coming back again. Great location and lovely apartment.

    We loved that Reta and John were so welcoming on arrival and Steven was great with his communicating and information. The personal greeting made it so much better, especially as they answered questions and let us know the important stuff too.

    Apartment, cleanliness, everything thought out carefully, beds, pillows, dishes, kitchen and bathroom. We believe we got more than we paid for. Comfortable position of apartment near to down town, good supermarket in 3 minutes walk and bus station near to it. Every evening when we return to it we felt relaxed and recovered. Thank you very much, Rita and Steven!

    car parking is a little congestion need to find the vacant parking around the apartment if you don't want to pay, so public transport should be better and the bus stop is not far away

    good services good location full furnished very comfortable to stay as own house close to big supermarket and not far from downtown

    There was nothing wrong with this place at all. I would recommend and I would stay here again.

    Great location for accessing the city centre. Easy bus ride from the end of the street. Kitchen had help yourself items that we didn't think to pack such as herbs and sauce. Great for a long weekend or a whole week as seperate living areas and bedrooms.

    Nothing to say.

    Everything from start to finish regarding this lovely break was spot on, very good and helpful communication with Steve, who was at the apartment to meet us on arrival, and told us to contact him at any time if we had any issues. The apartment was clean, homely, well decorated and very comfortable, spotlessly with not a speck of dust to be found...and was just perfect for us.... we settled in very quickly. Waitrose wasn't far away, one evening we just bought pizzas as we didn't feel like going out in the evening again after a long day walking. We would definately recommend staying in this apartment. Thankyou Steve for posting on to us our lost item.. and going the extra mile.

    Lovely to meet Steven after all our communications, the apartment was lovely and made our weekend feel like home from home. Everything through the booking process up to our arrival was first class and had there been any problems Steven was available which was really good to know. Loved the apartment and would recommend and will book again for sure.

    Could not fault it.

    Can not fault this apartment, its location or the host, Steven. Scrupulously clean, generously equipped, big fluffy towels, heaps of hot water, very elegant bathroom, very comfortable warm beds, and several little extra touches (bathroom air-freshener, complimentary towelling scuffs, basic pantry items, shampoo and bodywash) put this apartment right at the top of every apartment we have ever stayed in through this company. Short walk to large Waitrose and several bus routes, which go straight into the heart of the city. Very useful and informative folder for 'driving' the apartment and recommendations for restaurants and attractions.
