The apartment is beautiful, just like the photos. It was clean. Great location in terms of accessibility to all the sites, good food places, harbour etc. However, not a place for the light sleeper! The apartment is almost directly on the infamous Pink Street so when visiting be aware that some of the bars and pubs and clubs are directly below, opposite and music will go on until 2 in the morning. Plus lots of noise made by their customers.
There is also no air conditioning in the apartment. Which we were aware of, but no reviews had mentioned it being a problem. It was just about manageable in May at 27 degrees.
We also had a hot water problem, there was a delay in getting it sorted but once it was sorted, it was a relief. This was a teething problem of a new boiler so not an issue anyone else visiting from now on should experience. But it was a bit of a dampener on our experience, not being able to have a warm shower upon arriving at 1am after a long journey.
All in all if you don’t mind noise, happy to use ear plugs and can handle a bit of humidity in your living area then the apartment is good. It just wasn’t quite the experience we were expecting based on previous reviews.
