The view was great and bed was comfortable.

The pillows on the couch were stained from previous people staying which gave the place a little bit of a dirty vibe but overall was still clean and nice

Great apartment in perfect location

10.0

Wow, what a great place to stay! All I wanted was somewhere I could see the water and this apartment delivered with views from every window. The apartment is spacious and had everything you need including a separate toilet. The bed is was super comfortable and the shower has great water pressure. Walls between apartments seemed soundproofed. The only noise we could hear music was from the bars on Saturday night. Oh did I mention there underfoot heating, what a luxury! Basement parking would’ve been a bit tight for our big 4x4 but luckily there weren’t many cars so manoeuvring around the columns didn’t take a 50 point turn! I would stay here again, the apartment was fabulous and the location couldn’t have been better.
