We had a wonderful stay at Helene's which is conveniently located 5 minutes walk from the Birkenhead shops. Helene and her husband were always available but never intruded on our space in their downstairs unit. The unit has everything you need away from home, including lots of little touches like a couple of small bottles of bubbly and some chippies. The place was very clean and modern. We did find there to be some bird/neighbour/traffic noise - probably a medium level which was fine for us but if you are a light sleeper i'd pack some ear plugs just in case. Helene also has a beautiful little dog called Alfred! He would wander down to our unit once or twice a day for a pat but apart from that we didn't see or hear him. We would happily stay here again.
