The photos show a pool area suggesting that it has its own swimming pool, but it is near the local pool in town.
Well stocked spacious apartment with great view of the river. Conveniently positioned close to shopping centre. Modern appliances and well maintained. Minor issues were, strictly only one room access card allowed, which can be inconvenient with two people, and no shelves in the cupboard. Otherwise recommended.
