Nina

The apartment was a perfect location to pool Quay harbour and the town, we were walking distance from everything. The apartment was modern, and had most essentials, some of kitchen layout was interesting a lamp that fitted close to the kitchen cupboard which knocked the lamp when you opened the door. Good powerful shower and quick central heating system that warmed up all rooms well. Bed was comfortable. Mostly clean but some of the floor was a bit unclean on arrival and some items in cupboard were dusty and sticky. Generally quiet in the evening.
