adequate stay near the seafront

perfect locationclear communicationexcessive gapsmall sink
the location is perfect. i walked to the seafront in just a few minutes. the communication regarding access was clear and helpful. the instructions to get into the room were easy to follow.
the fire door had excessive gaps. these gaps let light into both the room and bathroom at night. also, the sink was very small. it was hard to fill the kettle directly, so i had to use a cup.

Central and Comfortable Stay

comfortable bedexcellent locationslow drain
The apartment was a great size. The bed was very comfortable (I slept so well!). The location is excellent, very close to the sea. The car park opposite the building was convenient.
The room I stayed in needed some modernisation. The shower drain was slow, and this created an unpleasant smell. I also saw some flies in the bathroom.
