Great flat in a great location. Was very comfortable and clean and had everything that we needed. Parking close by in Grindlay Street NCP car park ( much cheaper than Castle Terrace NCP) was easy to get to and just a few minutes walk from the flat. Lots of cafes, restaurants and shops nearby.Only minor issue we had was getting the key to work but after we worked out that you have to pull it out slightly before you turn it, it was not a problem.Would definitely go back- thank you!
