Host helpful. Small kitchen convenient and room spotless. The room, however, very noisy. It faces the main highway through town, and so loud during business hours. I closed the street facing curtains as no privacy and used earplugs.

Really great stay.

Beautifully appointed apartment, spacious, well equipped and comfortable. We were close to the main road, which gave a bit of traffic noise, but it was in no way annoying or disturbing. Short walk to the New World supermarket and good pubs and restaurants.
