    “We was very happy with everything at the property and would highly recommend it.”

    Only a couple of things to mention,there was a loud clicking sound coming from the on suite bathroom which woke us up at night,not sure if it was coming from the above apartment! The drainage from the main bathroom shower isn’t great. Just a-bit disappointed with having to leave by 10 am,thought this was early compared to other places.
