The apartment was just perfect.

The apartment was just perfect. It had absolutely everything you would ever need. It was home from home.Views from each window were a delight. Tom the owner was so helpful and friendly you would think you had known him for years. My son who is 14 years old didnâ€™t wonâ€™t to leave which is testament to the perfect holiday.
