Location, location. Great views and very convenient spot for restaurants. Have stayed in Kingston before and will definitely stay again. The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay.
Excellent location. First class apartment, spacious and well-equipped. Only minor quibble was the somewhat fiddly process of accessing and returning keys on arrival and departure.
