We were staying for a local football competition so it was ideally located for our stay, spacious, had everything we needed for a long stay. Only criticism was the shower doors leaked water on the floor a lot.

Privacy May Be an Issue for You
I value my privacy which is the main reason I choose to stay in apartments rather than in hotels or with family and friends. I was not impressed by having a group of strangers uninvited walk into my apartment at 8:45 am, without knocking, and without any valid cause - I was just getting out of the shower when I heard them in the corridor and had a few seconds to wrap a towel around my waist. On another point of security, there should be a safe provided in the rooms for laptops, cameras and passports etc.

The property was very clean and the room was a good size. We were right on the end next to the road so it was very noisy, hence 4 stars.

Efficient apartment close to everything we were interested in. Nice to have a washer & dryer but instructions on how to work them would have been appreciated. Had to learn by trial and error. Appreciated the on-site parking but next time we will rent a smaller vehicle. Our large car was a tight fit. Also appreciated the extensive walking paths near the facility. We took long walks every day.
