The apartment was clean and warm. Good sized TV. Very convenient for a trip into Chester. The bus stops are very near or not too far to walk . Roadside parking was not a problem. Short walk to local shops. Overall we had a pleasant stay.

Easy to park with shops, takeaways within few minutes walk. Nice and tidy. No complaints. Could do with upgrading the lighting as it's quite dim and old type bulbs but overall very happy with my stay and I'd use again. Thanks Shem
