    "A roomy flat with amazing views over the valley and mountains, within walking distance of shops and restaurants which are of good value."

    The staircases are not for the faint hearted though, they are steep and you need some muscle to open the front door. The water pressure is rather low and it takes some time to get warm. The toilet is downstairs so if you need to get up often in the night it's a challenge. But on the whole it is comfortable and there is everything you need. On street is usually available.

    "Internal steps quite steep, leading to apartment door from hallway."

    This door is not so easy to open if you are carrying anything. View from the balcony is stunning as you are overlooking the harbour and the railway station.

    "Very spacious apartment."

    Kitchen very well equipped. Stunning view from balcony. Easy to park and great location. Hand soap in the bathroom would have been good, and most places we’ve stayed would normally provide this.
