Not enough toilet paper for 3 people over 3 days only two rolls
Shower equipment needs a spring clean and keeps slipping down pole
Otherwise ok.
Only one key in locked box when we arrived- the large one.

Perfekt läge och fräscht boende
Liten lägenhet som passar familj med mindre barn. Väldigt centralt med gångavstånd till allt, exempelvis 5 min till Victoria Street.
Ligger på en bakgata som inte ser så trevlig ut men boendet var väldigt bra och tyst område.
Rekommenderas varmt!
