Unfortunately the apartment is on the upper floor within the roof area. This made the roof angle at 45 degrees. Being six foot tall entailed me banging my head more than a dozen times the first day and several times more during the week. Even the maintenance man when he came to replace the bedside light bulb, very quickly after reporting it, his opening question was "how many times have you banged your head?"Had we known about the angled roof we would have opted for somewhere else. The apartment was very clean and the bathroom exceptionally so. A couple of points to mention. Perhaps it would be better if the TV was on a moveable angle bracket so able to watch from the bed. Provision of a washing-up brush would be a good idea. We spent some time watching the Rugby and ended up calling out CROUCH every time one of us stood uo! HA. Other than the roof everything was more than satisfactory. .

Could not view from bed, chairs to small and not comfy. Could do with a full length mirror. Maybe on back of living room door. Otherwise a great place for our holiday and would stay again.
