Ear plugs essential
The property itself was very spacious, clean and well stocked. The beds and sofa were very comfortable and there was a full kitchen with all appliances. In general the location was good for accessing family friendly attractions such as the aquarium, but, the flat was extremely noisy. The next door neighbour had the TV playing at full volume all day late into the night, and on Friday there was a LOT of noise on the street below. I took ear plugs so managed to sleep ok, but the noise was significant.
Also, I received a message from the host a few days before asking for an estimated time of arrival. We organised our train tickets to arrive at the allocated check in time of 4pm (later than most places, usually it's 2-3pm) and let the host know. I then received a message the night before from the key holder to say she couldn't hand the keys over until 5 meaning we would have had to hang around for over an hour. My husband phoned her and they came to an agreement that she would come back earlier to give us the keys which we were very grateful for.
So overall, the apartment was very nice, clean and spacious, but the noise and stress about checking in impacting our stay.
