Spacious 1 bedroom apartment in Norwich city centre APT 9A

Ben was a first class host and was most helpful with our queries, thank you

The location was perfect - very central for town. Had everything we needed and the ability to book a parking space in a secure location was a huge bonus

There was quite a lot of noise from neighbouring apartments in terms of being able to hear water running and conversations but this was only an issue for a very short time just before bed. The bedroom was such that the only way to get out of the bed from the wall side was to climb over my partner. We knew this was the case when we booked and the location more than made up for it but if this would present an issue for you it might be worth looking at one of the other options in this building.

Location

Double bed was in the corner against a wall so one person had to climb over to get into and out of bed. Not nice in the middle of the night. No bed side lamp either so this had to be done in the dark! No heating instructions, only one radiator came on. It was not that cold luckily when we stayed but it would have been nice to have the heated towel rail on in the bathroom. Door code in manual is not the door code given so manual not up to date. Often car park gates were left open, so not fully secure.

Comfy sofa, with plenty of room to relax. Good cooking and eating facilities. Nice warm bedroom.

It was short by 1 x AAA battery, so that I had to swap from the bedroom remote to the lounge remote [and back] to watch tv in both places.

Everything was good.

One small gap was that there was no sponge to clean the dishes with, or I couldn't find it. There were issues with the TV, but I was informed beforehand, and was able to adjust.

The apartment is modern and clean, check-in very easy (keypad for main door entry, then key safe for the actual apartment). The location couldn't be better; close to the Anglican Cathedral, Elm Hill, the Riverside Walk and many of the historic areas of the city. There are also plenty of shops, restaurants, cafés and pubs within a short walking distance. The apartment itself is well equipped, with complementary tea/coffee/biscuits and also shower gel, washing up liquid, etc.

There is a compact, curved corner shower in the bathroom with a narrow door opening. I had no big problems with it, but would prefer a regular square shower cabin (a large person would probably find it quite challenging). Also, fresh white bed linen and towels would be an improvement instead of dark colours. Lack of ventilation in the bedroom may explain the slightly stale smell, which cannot be masked by plug-in air fresheners.

Vety comfortable and spacious great value for money and a fantastic location/ base
