We had a lovely stay in the apartment and Alison and her partner, Ken, were perfect hosts, going above and beyond the call of duty: fixing glitches, printing our boarding passes, and even posting on a library book my son left behind!

The apartment was lovely - even nicer than I had expected. It was quite noisy at night in the weekend - a slight downside of a city centre location which was ideal for two teenagers - but my partner and I slept in the back bedroom, and had no problems at all.

The location was great, just near the main square, with really great museums, cafes and restaurants in the neighbourhood. When we had worked it out, parking was also not a problem.
