Great views and access to river walks, park lands and major shopping centre with everything you need practically at the front doorstep (after a short walk up hill!)

The main bedroom TV did not work, this was not an issue for us though. It is at the bottom of a steep hill, you have to climb 2 x 4 flights of stairs to get to the main road, however it is only a short walk to the Highpoint shopping centre in the other direction. This was a great apartment for the price, I recommend. ##### Melissa Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Michan 1 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Communication The place was nice unfortunately the communication was disappointing, wasn’t able to get onto wifi and the link to their property guide did not work digitally and there was no physical copy so was unsure about property care rules or wifi passwords ##### Michan ### 8/10 Good #### Mavlan 8 Aug 2025 ##### Mavlan Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Caroline P. 10 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Review The apartment was lovely once we got there. GPS couldn’t find it tho as it was down a hill hidden and not next to the number it should be in the street so this should be explained. How to use fob to get in and use lift wernt explained.
