I stay in Plymouth regularly on business.
This was the best accommodation from all aspects that I have stayed in. Rana was attentive and knowledgeable and the apartment had everything I needed.
Wonderful location as well.
This was a great stay, I expected a hotel room and was greeted with a whole flat, modern, clean and cozy with everything needed for a comfortable stay even a washing machine and dishwasher. The shower was great, living area was comfortable and the bedroom was large, the kitchen had a toaster, oven, kettle, fridge and coffee machine it even had a small bottle of milk, tea bags and coffee, dishwasher tablets and cleaning cloths. The lady on the front desk was helpful and kind offering extra duvet for the little one. The only letdown was that the parking was a tiny gated area that was hard to get into and was a few minutes walk away.
