    Great location right in the center of Exeter with an amazing view of the cathedral. It was so clean and comfortable, felt like a home away from home.

    We had a fabulous time in Exeter while there to visit a friend. The location of the apartment and all its thoughtful amenities made for a calm, luxurious stay. I loved that the windows opened and faced the Cathedral. Beautiful to see the moon above the Cathedral and hear the evening choirs. The furniture and bedding was very comfortable - and welcome after long days walking!

    Me and my partner were able to easily get into the property, stay there, have our own privacy, and check out again. The check in process was easy, instructions very clear, and I found the place right away easily. The place is beautiful, huge windows with natural light, nice and aired out, very modern, very comfy, a truly fantastic view and a place you can stay in for the day comfortably if you choose (which we did). It felt very safe, and the bed was very comfy. There was next to no noise at all while staying, and my partner and I dreamed about what it would be like to live together in a place like this - our relationship developed to the next level thanks to this place. Nothing not to like.

    Great location with plenty of restaurants and shopping within a few steps. Spacious living area, kitchen was super practical with most everything needed to prepare a meal. Bedroom ok with closet space to hang clothes , but no chest of drawers or even a luggage stand to rest a suitcase on. Our suitcases sat on the floor for the length of our stay. You really are overlooking the cathedral green, which was super fun, with lots to watch going onout on the grass & in the square. It could be bit loud at night, but the bedroom is at the back, and so quite isolated from any noise. Bathroom was good, only complaint is no counter space to place bathroom items, they had to be placed on a ledge about a metre off the floor. Super great to have a washer/dryer combo. The dryer cycle was a wee bit loud. Elevator is super slow, only used when we had to take our luggage up & down. Convenient parking at NPC Market Street Car Park. Cost was 14.95 per night if you use the app to pay, or 16.95 at the machine when you park. Overall this is a very good spot, I would stay here again.

    The apartment is great. Very nicely furnished with all you could need except laundry soap! Nicely appointed with comfortable bed, but for US visitors this is a UK king which is the size of a U.S. queen. Great shower. Living area is beautiful with amazing view of cathedral. Area seems to be in transition so mind how you go in the evenings.

    The VIEW!!! The convenience of location, the cleanliness - the quick responses from James when we had questions - the huge windows that open right out onto the Cathedral Yard! - the fireplace - the rain overhead shower! We didn't know to hold the electronic key fob up to a panel to get into the big front door and thought we were locked out till a local person showed us. Turned out fine, but we worried for a minute there!

    The location and view was absolutely perfect as was the style of the apartment Sorry but you did ask the skirting board needs to be painted , the fire doesn’t work it turns on for a few seconds then goes out , the ovens were not clean and the bedroom window was absolutely filthy I have no problem with paying 95 for a cleaner but you expect it to be clean , I’m sorry but I felt that being asked to pay and take the bins out was a bit ridiculous A real shame because we loved the apartment

    Lovely apartment, clean and modern in a great location in central Exeter would definitely recommend. Close to shops and 20 mins from St David's station. Good heating system lovely and warm and good equipped kitchen and good oven and cooker. Dishwasher and washing machine are also there. Note, there's no free parking nearby but found some on the other side of the river on Wardrew road in St Thomas. 15-20 min walk to the apartment. Checking in process was very painful and the communication was quite unhelpful. Repeated the same automated message. Got there in the end all ok, nothing rudeunpleasant just a needlessly complicated check in process.
