Had a great stay - beautiful, spacious appartment. Extra bonus was all the toys and equipment for a baby/kids. St Albans is a lovely historic town, with easy access by train to London. The appartment... more |

A very homely, stylish apartment that provides everything you need for a holiday. It is very large, which is great when travelling with two boys and had everything that we needed. The support was great too, when I got stuck with the TV they rang me from Dubai to help out - a big thank-you. I can highly recommend this property. The only thing to notice is that it is on the second floor and there is no lift. For us, this was no problem. |

Fantastic modern apartment close to St Albans city centre. Suitable for weekend or longer term rental. Being on the top floor there are 2 flights of stairs so not suitable for anyone who struggles with stairs. We would rent again without any hesitation. |
