Lovely apartment. Spacious, clean and quiet building. Nice view over the harbour and town. Great location, easy walking distance to the harbour and town. There are multiple restaurants very close by including some accessible in the same building. Only negatives were the air con is loud and didn't always seem to work in the bedroom. It would have been useful to be informed about the garbage rooms. We checked in after the office had closed but it was simple, a passcode was emailed to us to open the lockbox which contained the keys and check in info. Would stay here again.

Great overall experience. Excellent customer service. Really good location for business or pleasure. Pay for parking inside the building as it is very convenient and protected from weather. Street parking is available but I always seem to have rotten luck with street parking! I will stay again and recommend this property to others!

A very enjoyable and comfortable stay. Check-in was easy and staff very helpful. Room was exactly as advertised with harbour views from room/balcony. Shower had excellent water pressure, TV was huge, comfortable bed (although a little on the soft side for us/ could do with an extra topper since it was 2 king singles put together to make one large bed). Room was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay including pool/beach towels. We look forward to our next visit and stay.
