Wonderful Apartment Experience!

excellent facilitiescomfortable bedhelpful staffmissing instructions
The room had excellent facilities. The bed was comfortable. The staff was wonderful, very helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble, and the manager were really good too.
The oven didn't work properly and the kitchen lacked some key items. There were no instructions to operate any of the appliances. I needed more plates and sets of cutlery when trying to cook a meal.

The apartment location was good and in a quieter part of town, though the city center was still accessible enough by walking. There was also a Tesco nearby for groceries. It made using the kitchen facilities very convenient.
