Being on 17th floor on the corner, the unit had a good view, on the right side to miss some of the very blustery winds we had while we were there. It is compact, but caters for most needs, although a couple more bowls would be useful. It does get traffic noise from the nearby main road and the works that are currently being done on the canal wall, but otherwise the position was fine for the beach and the shops without being on top of either.
