    I didn’t realise it was just a unit in a building, so had to wait after messaging to be let in, and given a key, but only a minor issue. James was very helpful, and only a call away if we had any concerns. He was there within 5 minutes so just message as soon as you arrive.

    A comfortable apartment with views of the rock and the Moorish castle and a few minutes walk to Grand Casemates Square. A nice balcony, kitchen and a combination washer/ dryer was convenient as we got caught in a storm. Parking either in the building or across the road.

    Fantastic location on the Main Marina a few minutes walk from lots of restaurants and bars. Only ten minutes walk to Main Street and also the Airport. Views over the Rock were fab, especially for lunch or in the evening sitting on the balcony. (unfortunately due to a rainy few days only managed that a couple of times). Large main bedroom and well appointed bathroom. Smaller second bedroom but adequate for our friend. Also shower room down the corridor. Kitchen had everything in that we needed and more. Large dining and lounge area. TV with lots of channels. Felt very secure. The pool and outside area looked fabulous and we hope to return to use them one day. James was an excellent host and there to meet us and to fix any small problems that we had. Able to leave our luggage due to flight times being altered.

    The floor in the lounge was a bit grubby and so walking in bare feet was not an option. (Feet were black soon after my bath!) There weren’t enough plates and knives and forks which meant we had to wash up rather than waste energy putting on a half empty dishwasher. The bed in the small room wasn’t big enough for my friends and so one slept on the sofa in the end. Perhaps a bigger bed in there? (Mine was fine though!)

    Central and convenient for everywhere in Gibraltar.

    Basically everything is great, only the parking is quite expensive. We found a much cheaper one abroad and I paid around 24€ for three days.

    Very good location, great apartment, great terrace with a view of Mount Gibraltar, very nice and helpful staff, great swimming pools for children and a large heated swimming pool for adults, I recommend it

    Nothing, location of the apartment and the actual apartment was first class.

    We were in Gibraltar for Netball Europe Tournament that my oldest daughter was playing in. Location of the apartment was perfect, we were 5 mins away from the netball venue, and only 1 minute away from the marina, which had plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from. James our host enabled us to drop our cases and bags into the apartment before our check-in time, he also managed to get our security passes done earlier also. James also sent through a list of recommended restaurants that were close by. We ended up going to 2 of them, and both were really good.

    It was spacious, comfortable, had a well equipped kitchen plus toiletries in the bathrooms. It has a lovely view of the rock and moorish castle from the balcony and it’s nice to open the doors up in the sun and sit on the balcony. The TV had plenty of channels to watch including Sky TV and Movie Channels. The pool area looked great for the summer but unfortunately the weather/season wasn’t the right time for us to use it. Will love forward to using it next time though. The property was located really close to the restaurants and bars in the Ocean Village, and also really close to Casemates Square. James was a great host and was there to greet us on arrival even though we were 3 hours late arriving. He is very responsive to messages and was very helpful.
