Really comfortable and brilliantly located
Mr Mcmenamon
our 2nd year in this apartment, and we love it, and it was just as good as the year before.
Mr Boxley
We rent this property annually and in general are very pleased with it. However, the owner needs to action a repair to both the rear bedroom window ( uncloseable for at least 18 months, and now the right hand front window this year which will not open). The bedroom window in particular is a real problem. It will not close and even the slightest of winds from the rear of the property blows the window open. In high winds the widow is blow right open and the solution of the curtain somehow preventing the window opening just doesn’t work. All nights this kept us awake. Not only opening but as you cannot close the window this is a real security risk. The front window is unusable. I expect that the owner is probably waiting on property management to repair the windows but I do think that something urgently needs to be done about it. As I have already said the rear window has been like it for our last two visits.
