Great modern apartments, they're a bit 'spartan' but nothing wrong. Double beds are all on the small side, but ok.Location an vicinity to public transport is brilliant!It's also a very quite location, despite being in between two main roads going into town.

Very comfortable apartment on the city edge. Close walk to whatever you need. Modern appliances and comfortable beds and lounges. Really pleased we picked this place and would definitely stay there again.||If there was a minus it’s the offsite car parking, but it’s not far away.

Perfect say, great location, clean and modern apartment. Staff very friendly and super fast responses when there is a question. Luggage room available which can be used. Apartment has everything one needs for a perfect stay. Fast Internet, TV a little small and too far away from the bed.

I stayed here back in April and it was hands down my favorite accommodation in the UK. I booked a one bedroom apartment on the first floor and it was very spacious, clean, modern, and had everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. I only wish the check-in and check-out times were a bit more flexible.

Small pokey apartment, temperature controls overridden so very cold, no soundproofing so hear guests in other apartments. ||Building work starts at 6am directly outside the bedroom window so no sleep past this time. …

Excellent apartment, great facilities and location. Note if coming from airport the tram stop at Westend is only about 2 min walk and Haymarket train station is closest, about 8 min walk. Highly recommend The Fox and Faun pub around the corner!

We stayed in Canning Street Lane apartment for 2 nights in March. The apartment was on the ground floor and was tastefully decorated throughout. Very nice, clean space with comfy bed and a really nice bathroom. It did lack a bit in natural light due to the frosted film over all windows, but I suppose it's a necessary addition for privacy. I would definitely recommend these apartments and look forward to our next visit.
