The room was on the top floor which meant using the old elevator (it worked but was a little rickety.)

We had an amazing stay at The Knight Residence by Mansley. The rooms are quiet and rather well-maintained, and the apartment was spacious enough for a family of four.

We had a great stay at Knight Residence. The apartment was superb. Clean, and really well equipped. Slippers for everyone, lovely toiletries and a great basket full of breakfast items, water, and even milk in the fridge. Fabulous location too. Olivia on Concierge was really great too, very helpful and professional. Will definitely use again.
