Review of Apartment 118 in Liverpool

Apartment 118 is a top spec serviced apartment overlooking the river Mersey in Liverpool's regeneration dockside area.

I went in mid-September, and the visit began with meeting the friendly owner onsite to pick up the keys and be shown up to the apartment. As soon as you walk into the apartment, you are blown away. It's been furnished to a very high standard indeed with loads of nice touches around the flat, such as a welcoming bottle of wine, a handbook with details of local shops and places to go and a soft closing toilet seat.

The apartment sleeps three, with one king size bed and a fold up bed which is stored in the cupboard. It's very nicely situated, with the Albert Dock about 10 minutes walk along the river front, and getting into Liverpool city centre takes only a few minutes too. If you don't feel like cooking, the excellent Mal Maison Hotel is a few hundred metres away with a superb restaurant, or of course there's loads of places to eat if you're happy to walk a bit further (although it was raining when I visited and myself and my guest left without an umbrella!).

Everything you could wish for is provided: iron, ironing board, first aid kit, all the kitchen utensils you'd find at home (and more), kettle, tea bags, coffee, sugar, big screen TV, DVD player, freeview. I was actually overwhelmed with how good this apartment was, and it was tastefully decorated throughout with Beatles imagery. Next time I'm in Liverpool, Apartment 118 will definitely be my first preference for a serviced apartment.
