To get an apartment with good amounts of space for the price of a budget hotel in the same vicinity was a real plus, and to find that it was very new and therefore immaculate was better still. A little disappointing not to have been made aware of the fact that there were significant roadworks going on in the immediate vicinity and hence the inherent parking difficulties of this location (also not made clear) were exacerbated. That said, staff were very helpful with advice on times for free street parking, locus for large local pay car parks, etc, and if you were out between 0900 and 1900 it was generally possible to find a space on the street (free of charge) overnight. The biggest issue was finding somewhere to park for booking in and luggage transfer.
The only other issue was that it seems a little incongruous for an apartment not to have a single chair in which to relax: there were a couple of kitchen chairs but no comfortable chair in the living/bedroom despite there being ample space. But for this it would merit 9/10 (not 10 because of the transport/access), however it fully merits 8/10 at the price. I'd definitely stay there again.
