Booked James' place after an uncomfortable stay at Mercure.
Location: lovely, safe suburb with a convenient 5 min walk to EICC (enter via back of Sheraton's carpark/spa) and 10-15 mins walk to both Old and New Towns.
Property: Very well designed (function & form) little place with full functioning kitchen and washing machine [no tumble dryer, but has heated towel rails to hang clothes on].
Amenities: stocked with enough milk, butter, tea, coffee, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc to get you started. And a couple lovely welcoming touches that you'll discover on arrival.
Comms: James accommodated my same-day booking, with very prompt, clear and friendly comms, even offering to clean it himself if his cleaner wasn't available.
Why would you ever want to pay more for a featureless hotel room (particularly the Mercure with its hard beds, questionable service and less desirable area).
Big thanks James - you and your apartment rock!
