I spent 11 January (2016) nights in apartment 5C on the fifth and top-most floor. I loved it. Afterwards I had to move to a nearby (more expensive) hotel for a conference. I massively preferred Lemon Apartments to the many-starred hotel. I have booked another nine nights in Lemon Apartments when my conference is over. I can’t wait to be back!

The apartment is exactly as shown in the owner’s illustrations. Apartment 5C faces East and catches the morning sun but there are two thicknesses of curtain; one almost blackout, the other is a translucent net.

The kitchen counter has an Ariston two-ring radiant top (no oven), a fridge and a microwave oven. In the cupboards there are crockery and cutlery for two, possibly three, persons, some cooking utensils and some pans. There is an electric kettle but no toaster.

There is no washing machine nor mops, floor brushes or dustpans. There is a service clean and linen change every few days.

There is a programmable safe – you set up your own combination to open it - inside the mirrored wardrobe.

The bathroom plumbing and fitments are modern. The tap water is drinkable and the toilet bowl accepts toilet paper. The shower pressure and temperature are good. There are towels for two; a hairdryer and small sachets of shampoo.

Standard power socket have three “pins” arranged in the shape of an arrow. There is one in the bathroom, one on the kitchen counter, one beside the bed, one (spare) under the television and one under the desk

There is a good Wi-fi signal most of the time.

There is a balcony outside the room window and a terrace outside the front door.

On the ground floor there is a dining area that opens onto a patio and a tiny swimming pool. I was told I could move tables and chairs out onto the patio if I wished. The swimming pool has water running in and out of it all the time so there may be a mild tidal effect (I have not tried it).

Very welcoming and attentive staff.
