9.6/10 Exceptional! (11 reviews)

This property is absolutely beautiful, a wow moment when we first walked in. Strongly recommended to book a river cruise (the one outside this apartment building) during your stay, it was a fantastic experience we had. Not fault during our stay, but if the host can provide umbrella would be thoughtful. We will definitely come back 😊

Location was great. The property had everything we needed. The views were great and having the parking space below the building made for a stress free stay. We would definitely stay here again if we came back.
