Home in the heart of Durham City

A whole apartment for perfect family retreat in the heart of cultural Durham City cannot be matched for its access to town centre. Save, should you want by cooking your meals at home; or splurge, should you desire with night life of Durham a stone throw away. Rustle of relentless flowing river Wear as it cuts through the centre of Durham with bridges and river walks providing a perch or a peak will always stand out in your memory and your photo album, as you reminisce in its glory. Accessibility to the apartment by bus or rail is a walking distance for the health-conscious; while town centre taxi ranks provide for easy rides - the choice is yours to make.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
Positives. Excellent central location, which was our main consideration. Overall, good, comfortable spacious apartment, with good size bedrooms and very good bath/shower rooms. Clean.Negatives. Some of the equipment was limited or poor. Most importantly, the beds were not king size, as advertised!Also, of the half dozen or so cups, several were chipped or cracked. No small or medium size plates. Hardly any oven trays. Only one pillow per person. Bath towels rather than bath sheets. TV was small and very basic. Overall, flat had a tired and only functional appearance.
