The location was great without a car (but off-street parking if you have a car) . It was an easy walk to the city shops, a fabulous Greek restaurant across the road, and a short pleasant walk to Salamanca area and all the craft shops and the wharf area for wandering around.
The apartment was much bigger that the photos show. It is a really nice tasteful apartment, comfy bed, books to read, a great TV set up, computer games, music set up if you just want to chill out. It was clean and comfortable. The kitchen facilities were really good - everything you need to prepare a meal or just snack. There was heaps of storage room in the bedroom.
We arrived on a wet and chilly November couple of days, the heating warmed the entire apartment very quickly, plenty of warm blankets. The bathroom/shower was very nice. It is a very comfortable apartment. I would highly recommend the apartment for a short or longer stay.
