Given the fantastic location, Fine China is a good example of a flat that, while not jaw-dropping, is a very solid and comfortable place to stay. It’s kept almost unreasonably clean – it was genuinely spotless when we visited – and there’s a daytime reception, a communal courtyard, a rainfall shower, and other amenities too numerous to list. Admittedly, the interior is pedestrian, but there are some nice pictures on the walls, which provide a pop of colour, and the view from the balcony is rather romantic (if you can ignore the pigeons).
