awesome studio Apartment
quick check-in comfy lounge full kitchen compact bathroom
i was REALLY grateful for the friendly & quick check-in process. The lounge area felt comfy, and the bar provided great drinks. Our studio apartment included a full kitchen and sitting area. i liked the bathroom size, it felt quite compact.
the parking charge felt a little HIGH at £40 per night. a £50 deposit. a washing machine in the room felt a bit strange.
