"The property was as advertised. Well positioned next to all essentials, parks, shops, petrol station, restaurants. Staff was responsive. The property was generally quite clean, but the only thing I noticed that could be improved is that some of the linen was not as clean as I would've liked. There was dust on the beds and a lot of what looked like fur or hair on one of the beds - possibly left by a previous guest. Overall, a very good property at a very good price."
