Spacious and spotlessly clean. Lovely apartment well situated for exploring north Norfolk and Norwich - the park & ride is just down the road to avoid Norwich's nasty ring road. Quick friendly communication.Only things we were not so keen on were the rather uncomfortable sofa which was too deep to sit on for long and the fire door into the bathroom area which slammed noisily unless you held it while it closed slowly. Minor things though, we would happily stay here again.
