We had a lovely few days staying in the studio apartment, which was beautiful clean and very well presented. Great location just short walking distance to parks and shops along with the train station. The host Amanda was very accommodating and nothing seemed too much trouble and made us feel very welcome. Would stay again if in the area.
Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025
