Gary is a great host and the apartment is clean and tidy and in a great location for food and pubs and a short walk to the water and train station. The roof area is great for a picnic. I gave 4 stars because everything within Gary's control is great but there are a couple things you should know.
It's a busy road that can be quite loud.
The blinds do not keep the sun out at all, in summer expect to wake up with the sun or cover your eyes.
There are a lot homeless people, if that makes you uncomfortable, you won't like walking around.
