Everything was perfect. We checked in after office hours and the paperwork and keys were left in a dropbox for us. Clear instructions were given. When we arrived, there was a welcome pack of essentials to make things easy. The apartment is superbly situated next to the wharves and a couple of minutes from the centre. It is really well equipped, lots of space, clean and comfortable. The staff at the agency were brilliant. Friendly and relaxed, gave great advice, an absolute pleasure to deal with. We thoroughly recommend staying here.

Short taxi ride from the airport, fantastic friendly staff at front desk. I had a great view from my balcony, so pleased I upgrade to a room with an esplanade view. Great time out spot with a wine and a book. Surprised at how close I was to the pier and the water front too. Lots of cafe, bars, restaurants very close by and I felt save walking around on my own in the early evening. Lots to do if you want to be busy. My room and bathroom were big and clean.

we booked a studio and it was huge..we asked for large double and 2 singles ( travelling with 2 11 yo) and we still had loads of space. Balcony was also big enough for all of us to sit and enjoy the night and the addition of mini kitchenette was a welcomed bonus! Staff were very friendly and everything was clean ..white towels and sheets were white!! definitely great value for family of 4..will come again!

The location was close to the city centre and esplanade. Although the apartment block was aged, our apartment had been recently updated with new furniture and a renovated kitchen and bathroom. The bed was very comfortable.
