Great apartment to stay in while in Norw

This is a great apartment to stay in while in Norwich. 1. Very close to train station and city centre. 2. Well equipped kitchen for self-catering. 3. Comfy bed and bathtub. 4. Good wifi so was able to do work. However, 1. In the kitchen area, they should make sure screws are screwed down well to avoid sliced toes. 2. Heater was a bit unpredictable - had to ask for help on first day. 3. There was a lot of light from the street coming through at night and also from the corridor. The apartments are also on a lane that seemed to be a place for noisy, drunk people to walk down. Overall, a great apartment.

Stunning

fabulous place to stay even on the hottest uk days of the year, will be even better when they get air con installed to the rooms, Rooms are at an extremely high standard of decor, fully function kitchen, Tesco extra store next door to the building, Might be a good idea to put a sign up to show the way to the office where you get your room keys from would be my only suggestion, would defiantly use this place again
