  Lovely apartment in great location, but not sure it could accomm

  Left on 11/08/2012 for a stay in October 2012
  
  

  The apartment is lovely, and full of character in an old intriguing building. I stayed with my husband, 2 year old daughter and my dad and we thought the location was great (although make sure you know exactly what street you are on, as the side streets all look the same and we got lost on the first day!). We were greeted by Cynthia was was very friendly and helpful (we called her a couple of times during our stay for extra info and she couldn't have been more helpful).
  
  I have one big issue with the apartment though. This is that although there is a good size double bedroom, the two single rooms are adjoined and you have to walk through one to get to another and they are both very small (so make sure those using these rooms know each other well!).
  
  Overall I would have given a better rating in terms of location, facilities and the nature of the apartment. However we struggled with 4 of us due to the single rooms, and if there was 6 of us it would have been tough (although I can confirm the sofa bed is comfy!).
