Great place in an amazing location! Highly recommend. Only thing I would recommend would be a comfier bed, it’s not bad but could be better. Apart from that the apartment has everything you need, free parking on the road outside and lots of places to visit and see. Lovely view of the marina.

Stunning view and location!!The flat is small but has everything you need but is old and needs some maintenance work. Difficult to locate as the check instructions were not clear, building is very old, looks like a drug den and needs a lot of work doing. There is was a massive hole in the wall with cables showing outside the room. No WiFi. The bed is very old, stained and uncomfortable. I wouldn’t walk around in the studio with no socks on. Oh and an added touch the host will accuse you of doing drugs!!! Definitely wont be returning
