10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful central location to Strand and surrounding areas. Daily walk of the Strand is a great way to start the day. Easy parking, clean and well equipped apartments, comfortable beds and friendly helpful staff. Stayed here twice in two different apartments. As units are individually owned one was a bit more comfortable than the other but both were very good.
