We had a very nice stay. (4 adults) It was convenient to all the things you want to visit. Pubs and coffee shops close by as well as a Sainsbury which we used when we wanted to prepare our own food. You may need to purchase more toilet paper and paper towels for your stay as there was only a roll of toilet paper in each bathroom. You can get those close by at store. We were there a week and it was nice to have a washing machine as we pack very light. We would recommend this flat.
