Overview
I visited the apartments not too sure what to expect. I found them to be very good for me as a visually impaired person.
Transport & Parking
For me, access to public transport is important and the apartments I visited were close to bus routes and easy to get a taxi. If coming by car there are several options for parking on site.
Access
Access in and around the building: For me getting in to the building and around to the apartments was easy once I had someone show me the way. The apartments themselves were well laid out and equipped. They were bright and light which is good for me as a visually impaired person. Assistance dogs were welcomed which was good to hear. Access in the accessible bedrooms and bathrooms: The bedrooms and bathrooms were not specifically designed to be accessible. That said, they worked well for me and were spacious and bright and light. Access in the dining area: The kitchen and the dining / lounge area was spacious and bright and light. Well furnished the apartments were an attractive alternative to hotel accommodation. Access to other facilities: The apartments are all self contained and there are no other facilities.
Toilets
Staff
The staff were helpful and reassuring in being able to answer my questions and receptive to suggestions.
Anything else you wish to tell us?
The apartments were an interesting alternative for me as a visually impaired person and I’d certainly consider them again if staying with a group.
