This Apartment is in a perfect location - so close to all the major sites (10 minutes walk from station), but tucked away from the hustle and bustle. Views from the front window across the canal are great. Apartment itself is very bright, clean and spacious and was lovely and warm. Swish, modern shower room and comfy beds. Nice 'extra' facilities such as a coffee machine and lots of guide books. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating. If you want to stay in a traditional canal house then we feel this would be hard to beat, but as it is on the top floor it does of course involve a lot of very steep stairs - these are worth it for the views. The clock tower at the end of the road does chime frequently, so ear plugs for night recommended. However, due to quiet location there was very little other night-time noise.
