Sophie was the definition of above and beyond! Communication was spot on. She responded to any queries we had quickly and with great care and help. The property itself was outstanding. It was located not to far from the city centre, which is an ideal and short distance from Leicesters main attractions. The property was spacious and neat, and providing a perfect sense of privacy. Sophie’s added touches and extra details to the decor and aesthetic of the property made it feel like right at home. I would deffo recommend staying here, and look forward to returning. 👍
