Great location for a weekend away. A bit quieter than the central city but so close. Great cafes nearby and New World 4 min walk away. Was lovely to walk along the waterfront and great people watching from the apartment as well. Apartment is suoer clean and modern. Guessing a recent rennovation as everything felt new. Was perfeft for us.
