10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (2)
"This rental is FABULOUS! First, it was super clean, spotless. Second, location is walkable to many restaurants, grocery, movies, pharmacy. Third, it "lives" much bigger than its square footage. Fourth, the efficient layout of every room was a pleasure to experience. Fifth, super quiet (probably due to the thick outer doors). One of the best vacation rentals we have ever visited. Well done!"

"Excellent location, very quiet, great stylish fitout. Only problems: there should be a working heated towel rail - there was a switch but turning it on didn't warm the rail and the towels remained damp and cold. The bedroom was almost warm enough at night if you left the door open and the heatpump on, but the huge exit sign then made the room very bright. Better I think would be a small eco panel type heater in the bedroom so the heatpump can be turned off and the door closed. Other than that,...
