This is a very comfortable flat which was great for being in the centre of the old town. The flat was very clean and had everything we could have wanted. It was nice and warm when we needed it on some of the cold November days. We did not notice any noise from the lift and found the area very quiet.
The only thing I would say is that we did have trouble initially with arriving at the flat. This is due to our own lack of preparedness. It is not possible to drive in the old town- at least not officially! We got ourselves in a bit of a mess and in the end parked in a very expensive town centre car park for one night. However, Tamara had suggested one car park and we found this the next day. Once we had sorted out the parking we were fine. Obviously we had to carry our things from the car to the flat and back again but this was not a problem. The best way to find this free car park is to arrive from the north, taking the exit on the N11 to the centre. The free car parks are between the two rivers- so you cross one river and and then look for the car parks that are before crossing the next river. The car park is a very busy one but we always found a place. I am not sure what it would be like at other times of the year. Clearly, if you are coming by public transport then you will have no problems!
