central apartment stay

clean apartmentmodern decorcentral locationeasy access
the apartment was very clean and modern. it had all the appliances i needed in the kitchen. the location was very central and near public transport to and from the airport. the check-in process used a smart lock, so it was easy to access (no keys to worry about!).
the bathroom sink was a bit small. it made it hard to wash my face without splashing water everywhere.

great locationwalking distancelimited serviceextra fee
the location was superb. everything was easy to find and within walking distance. i noticed there is a greggs just across the street.
the apartment was clean when we arrived for five nights, but there was no service. we only had one set of towels per person for the entire stay, or i would have had to pay £30 for a clean set.

great locationeasy accessclean roomsmall basinsmall bed
The location was really great. It was very easy to find everything. Walking around was simple. The facilities provided suited my needs exactly (I didn't need much). The room was also very clean.
The double bed seemed too small for beautiful standard. The washing basin was also uncomfortably small (it was hard to brush teeth).

wonderful locationcomfortable bednew bathroompumping station
The location proved wonderful. I reached landmarks like the castle and victoria street within just a short walk. the studio featured an comfortable bed and practical layout. the bathroom sparkled with cleanliness, showcasing new fixtures and designs, a welcome addition to my stay.
i encountered some noise coming from what sounded like a local pumping station . whenever someone used the water, a sound similar to a lawnmower filled the air.

the location was great. it was easy to walk to many attractions. the room decoration was nice. also, the apartment was a good size.
the windows only open a few centimeters so fresh air did not circulate well making it very warm. the shower was broken. water went everywhere when using it and the shower head holder slipped down.
