Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Comfort rating lags the rest — Comfort scored 7.5, the lowest of all rating categories, suggesting the beds or furnishings may not match the overall high marks.
  • No parking on site — The property does not list parking, and this is a city-centre pedestrian street, so driving guests should plan for nearby public parking.
  • Small apartment scale — The only room type listed is a two-bedroom apartment, so it may not suit solo travellers or those seeking a standard hotel room.
  • No pets allowed — Guests travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere, as the property is strictly pet-free.
