A fantastic place to stay- exceeded expectation. The two bed apartment was large and stylish, in an environment that was timeless, luxurious and well maintained. The service was friendly and impeccable and the location was central.

Centrally located, clean, comfortable and well-appointed. Our only complaint was the very limited range of TV channels (free-to-air only).
