Accurately described. Nice with everything ready to use, like some capsules for the washing machine and the dishwasher. Instructions for use available (I always need them).Intriguing apartment - gave me a combined sense of something very old, yet luxurious.Very nice views, especially the from the kitchen - made me forget what I'd meant to do and daydream instead.Nice location, would be perfect if not for the sound of traffic during the day - at night quiet enough.

We enjoyed our stay in this two story flat. We arrived by train, and it was a short walk to get to the flat on the bridge. The location was a couple blocks to shopping and eating in town, and 1 mile walking to Burghley House. The flat was very comfortable with living room and kitchen on the ground floor, and bedroom and bathroom on the upper level. The flat sits on a busy corner, but that didn’t bother us, even though we had to open the windows due to the heat wave. We didn’t use the kitchen, but we did do laundry in the washer. Everything we used was in good working order, the bed was comfortable, and the internet worked well. Very good experience. We would stay here again.
