Great location, close proximity to the town centre and the gorge! We really enjoyed the layout of the apartment. The bed was very comfortable, kitchen stocked and well equipped, washroom big and had a nice shower. We had a problem with the remote, and John was prompt and the problem was quickly resolved.There was a however….we did notice that the apartment required a thorough cleaning: some bleach in the shower to rid it of the mold, the window sills a needed a good wiping, the vent for a/c needed a clean, a swifter underneath the bed and an overall dusting.
