The Beaumont Apartments

8/10 Good
"The accomodation is in an excellent location. Key pick up was easy by calling the manager and they give you the code for the lockbox. The property is well maintained . The apartment is very well maintained although it is not a new unit still very much the 90s. If I had a gripe it would be they could have there own wifi as this does make it difficult to watch even the tv on the building hotspot and the tv is just a small after thought. This is being picky I know. Bed was comfortable and unit is warm as north facing with a seaview overall its a good option"
