Beds very comfortable. Kitchen well equipped. We found it lovely and warm and quiet. Great location and found free parking a 5 minute walk away. The hall way bottom light only seems to work when the shop below is open -maybe it is on the same electrical circuit. Other than that perfect property for us and our family.

No onsite parking but with a free car park just 5 minutes walk away this is not a problem. There were just the two of us but the apartment would be perfectly comfortable for four adults and would be ideal for a family.
