the receptionist was super friendly and helpful. the apartment was large , quite luxurious and very well equipped. they also provided a great value continental breakfast on request.
the bed was awful , sagging on both sides. the fire alarm had been removed. single glazing allowed dampness to cause paint to peel and white grouting to turn grey.
