1 Bright Point Apartment 2303

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent apartment, great facilities, right near the ferry and IGA. Booking easy but communication with host could be improved. Initially we were told they had double booked and no other apartment available. We were advised thru a third party. That was sorted thankfully with the host. Their error. Check in we had a miscommunication and the phone number provided took us to an Ai then a third party. Never to the place where we picked up our keys. Ended up walking down and issue promptly resolved. Very helpful in person. Would stay again."
