Me and my partner were able to easily get into the property, stay there, have our own privacy, and check out again. The check in process was easy, instructions very clear, and I found the place right away easily. The place is beautiful, huge windows with natural light, nice and aired out, very modern, very comfy, a truly fantastic view and a place you can stay in for the day comfortably if you choose (which we did). It felt very safe, and the bed was very comfy. There was next to no noise at all while staying, and my partner and I dreamed about what it would be like to live together in a place like this - our relationship developed to the next level thanks to this place.

The apartment is great. Very nicely furnished with all you could need except laundry soap! Nicely appointed with comfortable bed, but for US visitors this is a UK king which is the size of a U.S. queen. Great shower. Living area is beautiful with amasee more
The apartment is great. Very nicely furnished with all you could need except laundry soap! Nicely appointed with comfortable bed, but for US visitors this is a UK king which is the size of a U.S. queen. Great shower. Living area is beautiful with amazing view of cathedral. Area seems to be in transition so mind how you go in the evenings.

We didn't know to hold the electronic key fob up to a panel to get into the big front door and thought we were locked out till a local person showed us. Turned out fine, but we worried for a minute there!

Sorry but you did ask the skirting board needs to be painted , the fire doesn’t work it turns on for a few seconds then goes out , the ovens were not clean and the bedroom window was absolutely filthy
I have no problem with paying 95 for a cleaner see more

I have no problem with paying 95 for a cleaner but you expect it to be clean , I’m sorry but I felt that being asked to pay and take the bins out was a bit ridiculous A real shame because we loved the apartment |

Good heating system lovely and warm and good equipped kitchen and good oven and cooker. Dishwasher and washing machine are also there. Note, there's no free parking nearby but found some on the other side of the river on Wardrew road in St Thomas. 15-20 min walk to the apartment.
