I love to staying here. It was so cozy and welcoming. Check in was a breeze and Jan and Bill were very responsive hosts. The only thing that I would mention is if you are going to take a taxi service from the airport to the apartment make sure that the driver is taking you to address number 39 unit 11. I discovered that the address is formatted correctly but when taxi drivers use Google to find it it tells them to go to street number 11.
In the evenings I would wrap myself in a blanket and turn the electric heater on and watch television and just relax on the couch. Then I would move the heater into the bedroom and close the door and my bedroom was toasty warm for when I went to sleep. Also a nice touch for the colder winter weather was an electric mattress pad heater. Very comfortable bed and quality linens.
The bathroom was really nice and also had a washer and dryer for use. The shower was excellent. Strong water pressure and really hot water.
I loved being able to look out the windows and see the beautiful Herne Bay and the sunsets. Being on the top floor always s plus for me.
The neighborhood is quaint and safe. The the taxi driver remarked to me "oh wow you're staying in a really nice neighborhood" when he dropped me off.
Catching the bus was easy. There's a bus stop close by. I rode the bus almost everyday to the CDB. It was only $3.50 each way. There are many restaurants, local businesses and even an excellent Chinese take away place all on the main road. There's also a small grocery store on that same street but I had no problem finding everything that I needed for 8 days to eat.
A really nice touch was finding fresh fruit and milk waiting for me when I arrived.
The only thing that I would add to the kitchen tools would be a dish rack to put freshly washed dishes in to dry. I used a towel and then leaned the dishes one on top the other so that they would dry overnight.
I had a wonderful stay at this apartment. I would definitely stay again in the future. Actually I wish I didn't have to leave it. It was starting to feel like home to me. :)
