7.6/10 Good! (240 reviews)
Great location with busses outside the guest house direct to the City Centre every 5-10 minutes. On-site parking which is great also but limited. Its quite self-service as there isnt anyone to greet you are just left a key and have to phone them up when you arrive. Take your own towels as there were none left for me in the room which I found strange.

We had a wonderful stay in this very charming and spotlessly clean apartment. It is strategically located, making it incredibly convenient to explore the city on foot. The apartment was perfect for the two of us, spacious, well equipped with everything we needed, and exceptionally clean. The team made everything super smooth for me and my husband from start to finish. A special mention to Elizabeth, who manages the building, she was very helpful and accommodating, and her thoughtful recommendations truly made our stay feel extra special. She also checked in on us to make sure we felt at home, which we really appreciated. Just a small note for future guests: there are stairs, so it may be something to consider if you’re carrying large luggage or have knee problems. It wasn’t an issue for us at all. Overall, we highly recommend this apartment and would happily stay again.
