This apartment is in a fantastic location, 2 minutes walk to St.Andrews Square. Right near some amazing restaurants and bars.
The apartment is a bit of a climb up 2 flights of stairs, not great if you have lots of luggage or small children with a buggy!!
The apartment has a large living room which has a sofa bed, large enough for 2 people. The kitchen is small-ish but ok and most of what you need for a couple of days stay. There was no freezer which is a shame as we would have liked to have some ice for our drinks. The kettle is an issue!! It is basically a travel kettle. This apartment can sleep 6 so a real pain and uneconomical for 6 adults all wanting a cuppa. We couldn't understand why you wouldn't have a normal kettle when they are as cheap as a travel kettle these days. Very frustrating!! Another issue - the glasses. Very few matching, unusable and not enough. Lots of weird shapes and sizes but few that were actually relevant for our drinks, especially when your party is 5 adults wanting to celebrate. Again, a cheap and easy item to supply.
The bathroom is quite small with a rather inefficient shower and screen. The shower is not and works but it is certainly no power shower!! 2 small very cheap loo rolls left for 5 adults for 3 days. Not enough. Plenty of towels of a good quality tho. Clean beds and enough pillows but no obvious extras available in the bedrooms which are small and have no wardrobes. A hook is available in each room to put your hangers although they could only accommodate the 4 hangers available in each room. More hangers and places to hang them needed. Also, the standard double bedroom has its hook at the entrance to the room which is a rather precarious position, especially if you get up in the dark. The blinds and curtains weren't great. Lovely looking shutters which didn't really function properly as a black out. 1 of the bedrooms blinds worked but the other bedroom's blind was broken. Same issue in the living room which doubles as a bedroom.
Very noisy floors.
Whilst I have highlighted a fair few negatives, I feel these are petty snagging issues which could be resolved so easily making this apartment far more comfortable. All in all our stay was pretty good. We were there friday to sunday so not much luggage. If you were staying longer and using full capacity then it could feel very cluttered.
What I would like to highlight is that the host provided excellent communication. The cost was reasonable and the location was fantastic for us as we love that area and no taxis or transport was needed at all for the time we were there.
