We stayed as it is extremely close to East Midlands airport. It was absolutely perfect for that and so much more – the apartment is beautiful. We were a little sad that we were leaving for our flight so early in the morning as it was so lovely there. The beds were huge and very comfortable. There are two bathrooms which was very helpful with there being 4 of us. The apartment is clean and comfortable.- Loren
