Only issue for us is having to go to the office in Island Street to collect and return the keys. Would prefer to do what other apartment guests do and drop in the key safes provided in the lobby area??

This was because: -the blind in the en suite bedroom was broken and had to be fixed the day after we arrived -some walls are scuffed and marked -the sofas are grubby and smell -the plastic tablecloth is shabby and stained - in the en suite bedroom there was no mattress protector on the bed or pillow protectors -the pillows were of very poor quality and badly stained -the wardrobe has a collection of give-away plastic hangers - in the living room there was a tatty piece of carpet by the door which was stained -the folder of information for the apartment had many old and loose leaf pages not organised -the terrace floor had not been cleaned prior to arrival Therefore overall we feel that the amount we paid for a 5 night stay led us to expect better quality and higher standards than we received On the plus side the view is amazing. The en-suite shower is good and the kitchen is very well equipped.

The view is brilliant, I could sit on the balcony (or inside if its cold) and watch the ever changing scene on the water, so relaxing! The apartment was well positioned with good parking on the lower deck and nicely furnished. It was clean and tidy and we made good use of the mooring, which is the main reason we booked this apartment. My only big bug bear is only having 1 set of keys. While its possible to split the building keys (entrance fob, key to side door by Dick and Wills, and key from garden) so everyone can at least access the building, an additional key to the apartment itself would be incredibly useful! We will definitely be back!
