We had a great stay in this apartment. It is actually even better than it looks in the photos with lots of character in a lovely old building. We particularly liked the big sofas for lounging - many apartments have one tiny sofa and aren't good for families. The area is amazing, we loved the Northern Quarter. We did hear a little outside noise in the evenings but as it is in the middle of a city that is to be expected. It kind of added to the continental/holiday feel of the place. Communication with Matt was easy and we appreciated the local recommendations. We may well return!
