“The river views from the apartment were genuinely hypnotic, a constant, soothing presence from a comfortable vantage point just a short walk from the town centre. Having two bathrooms was a thoughtful touch, and the direct lift from the car park was certainly appreciated, even if the parking itself required a little attention. It's a place that makes you want to settle in and simply watch the water go by.”
