The price of the apartment was very reasonable so we were worried it would be very small or in a bad area. However the location was excellent, very convenient and the apartment was so bright, clean, new, stylish and spacious. We really loved it and felt very comfortable. We had a problem with the hot water which was resolved within hours - really very good service and our request for a clothes airer was dealt with within minutes! Really very excellent service, we could not have asked for more and will definitely be booking with Aspect again, thanks to everyone in the office for looking after us.

A beautiful flat with great views, felt very homely. Already thinking about next year. Never heard a sound from the restaurant downstairs and the record shop is only open during the day when you are out exploring anyway. A great little find.
