Great location, great view and a lift! The bedrooms are more than adequate in size, the beds comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped (albeit short of glasses and mugs) and there is a novel mezzanine area which might be a good place to store a teenager or two. The only real negative is the balcony and windows were filthy, there are many seagulls and pigeons, nevertheless the neighbours were a lot cleaner. But this should not marr this review - its a great little flat in a great place.
