I felt the amount of steps up to the property could have more accurate in the description, we knew there was some but than expected didnât like the bin being in the back garden and having to take rubbish through the bedroom it was the only flat with no numbered bin location at the front

Everything you need and very comfortable especially the bed. The outdoor space is such a bonus with a good view of the river and harbour. I would recommend this apartment.
