The apartment is in a good location, just off the seafront and a short walk to supermarkets and restaurants. The area is fairly built up, but it was generally quiet (in January), apart from some minor building work in the block to the rear. I usually managed to find parking within a hundred yards or so.
It is on the 2nd storey and has four flights of stairs and no lift. The balcony was permanently in shade and surrounded with other tall buildings, so the view is non-existent.
I wouldn't describe the apartment as luxury, but it was quite modern and had all the basic equipment that you would expect.
Normally I would be giving the apartment at least 4 stars, although there were two major issues. The first is that there was an unpleasant odour from the mattress. The second is that the apartment isn't heated (apart from the single air-con in the bedroom) and it was uncomfortably cold. For most of the year I imagine this is hardly a problem, but it certainly is in Winter months. I had to buy my own small heater, which was not really adequate.
The futon couch in the front room is uncomfortable just to sit on, so I imagine would be dreadful if needed as a bed.
