This is a great spot for someone who wants to be a tourist in a local area. The pubs noted by Alex were fantastic - the food and service did not disappoint. The night time walks were quiet and lovely by the water. The dogs! if you love animals, there are lots taking their owners for walks and allowing you to pet them (just in case you miss your puppy from home). The flat itself was great as well - easy location to get to, was fairly urban (it's not sub-urban quiet) which was just to our liking. We were able to walk to all the sights, take the bus if we wanted or a taxi. Would recommend Alex and the flat to anyone!
