The only thing that might be an issue for some is its a bit if a walk from the underground carpark to the apartment but we are in our 70s and 80s and managed it ok but if you have mobility issues just be aware. There are excellent lifts its just the long corridor.

A unique modern location in an historical location. Good tourist facilities but not a resort. If you wants something unusual, comfortable midst a busy port this is for you.
