Lovely apartment with exceptional views in a smart and lively location. Very comfortable accommodation with all you need for an enjoyable relaxing holiday.The outside steps were a challenge, especially with luggage, but once unloaded were manageable. The bedroom was spacious and the bed very comfortable. The living area was modern and bright. The views from the roof terrace were incredible. We would never tire from watching the ever changing activity all around. From the steam railway to the river boats to the beautiful sky line. Wow.Our only gripe was the dirty drawers in the kitchen. However, we would highly recommend this apartment and would definitely return.
