The Customer service was great, very polite and kind, however, I arrived late on night 1, I established my fridge didn’t work, I informed reception. They got someone out (apparently) but it was never fixed. This for me was just disappointing as I select apartments with full kitchens for a reason. Not having a fridge for 4 days very very inconvenient, no compensation offered.

Suited the purpose
Suited our purpose for a good price. It is off the main stretch, but we were doing tours the whole time we were there. It was clean and equipped. Couldn’t get the dishwasher to work, but Mike checked it after we left and said it was, so perhaps some instructions would help. It’s neat the train tracks, but I don’t recall hearing a train during our stay.

Enjoyed our stay and we would stay there again
The staff was really friendly... We enjoyed our stay... It was a great two bedroom apartment. The only thing that could be better would be the sofas in the living room... They were not that comfortable. However everything else was comfortable including the beds
