And of course a bathroom with either separate shower or bath with overhead shower is a feature of all apartments. As part of the weekly service, fresh towels and bed linen are provided. As standard free WIFI is provided in all apartments keeping you connected and we even provide tea/coffee and toiletries to get your stay kick started.
