"The heated floor in the bathroom and the water pressure in the shower were amazing. Had a balcony with an amazing view and had chairs no table so couldn’t have breakfast out there. Room service was great except they don’t collect the dirty dishes if staying one night and if you are not charging it ..."

"It was good. Appreciated the house keeper, he was approachable and kind. However if you decide to book, be aware that parking doesnt come with booking, you would spend a few hours or two looking for car parking space which was a nuisance but everything else was okay."
