Overall we were very impressed in the value for money , size of accommodation and modern feel to our apartment. Superficially the apartment was clean but when you look closer at windowsills cupboards and in microwave a lot more attention to detail was needed. But overall value for money we and the accommodation itself we were very pleasantly surprised and would return again.

My accomodation was cancelled and i had paid full prior. The manager tried to help with a solution but it took some back and forth communication to get a solution at the end. Ameneties in the room was not fully stocked. Room smelt strange. Dirty windows Will not be back.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Opened back our bed to a blood stained sheet. No proper door handle to go into the bathroom Have done a rough paint job inside where you can see all the buts that they missed. Cold tap made a dreadful noise when turned on...needed fixing. Wardrobe to hang up things had no pole to hang anything on. Never stayed in a place that was so rough. The picture online was lovely but was nothing like the place.
