Ground Level Apartment | Methven
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (2)
"We had a great stay, we were quite comfortable and the apartment had everything we required. The communication with the owner was great with clear pre-entry information given the day prior to check in and prompt answering of enquiries during our stay. The location of the property in town made walking to local shops easy. Our only negative was the noise of the upstairs apartment occupants moving around travelled quite well through the floor. Not a big issue but something to be aware of."
