This flat is ideally located in Keswick, being close to local shops and restaurants. It comes with its own parking place, accessed by driving under the archway. The car park is shared between several properties and is just about big enough, though your passengers may have to get out before you slot into your designated space. The front door has a digital lock, which proved very temperamental, but we managed to get in every time. Inside, the property is nice and quiet, comfortable, and reasonably well equipped, although it could do with a spot of maintenance in places (e.g. the kitchen cupbard doors). Overall, it's a perfect base to get out and explore the Lake District, which is probably what you came to do.
