We stayed at Gill and John's place with my husband, our three year old son, my sister and her 6yr old son. Communication was easy and quick with Gill in advance of our arrival. John greeted us upon our arrival and he was very friendly and helpful. The flat is modern and well set up with rooms on one half and the living room, kitchen and dining area on the other half, with a sliding door to separate. We didn't hear any noise from other flats in the building. We did hear nearby traffic, but the closed windows did a good job at reducing the noise. We were able to hear noise within the flat, but it wasn't too much of an issue as we all woke up the same time. The kitchen is well equipped and modern - we enjoyed cooking there. There was a pullout couch, but my sister chose to stay in the double bed with her son instead as she found that more comfortable. Broughton street has some lovely shops, restaurants, a great coffee shop (Artisan), a small pharmacy, and there are some small grocery stores nearby.
