"We really enjoyed our stay in the Gaynor Clayton apartment - it was a lovely comfortable space and so central in terms of location to walk around the city. Dan was really helpful (including posting back some glasses we’d left behind) and we appreciated the breakfast goodies and treats that were provided. Would definitely stay again. "
