Belfast has flourished and advanced greatly in the last 15 years and our apartment places you right on the doorstep of what is now one of the UK's most vibrant city destinations.

The apartment is situated directly across the river Lagan from Belfast's Waterfront Hall, (http://www.waterfront.co.uk/default.aspx) an architectural centre piece in Belfast hosting a wide range of cultural events from classical to comedy.

It is within 5 minutes walk of the city centre with its new multi level shopping complex, Victoria Square ( http://www.victoriasquare.com ) and a dazzling choice of pubs, restaurants, smart hotels, shops, cinemas and theatres.

A 5 minutes walk along the river walkway directly in front the apartment brings you to Belfast's new Titanic Quarter ( http://www.titanicbelfast.com/Home.aspx ) with its signature Titanic Building, museum and exhibition centre.Yet despite its proximity to all of these amenities, the apartment itself remains a haven of relaxing comfort.

For further afield destinations such as the Antrim Coast and the Giant's Causeway ( 1hour ) or the mountains of Mourne (1 hour), the apartment is within two minutes drive of motorway systems connecting both destinations and just across the pedestrian footbridge outside the apartment takes you to the Central Railway Station and/or Lagan Bus Station( 5 minutes walk) with connections to Dublin, Coleraine, Londonderry by train and all of Northern Ireland by bus. The George Best Belfast City Airport is easily accessed and is a mere 6/7 minutes drive away.

We are 2 professional guys, one a lawyer, Irish and 50ish, the other a teacher, French and 40ish. Both of us work in city centre Belfast and thus the proximity of our apartment to the city centre makes our life/ work balance a lot more manageable. Our interests are wide and variable ranging from such sedentary interests as cooking, reading and music to more active pursuits such as hiking, running and walking. We enjoy the many amenities Belfast has to offer and are regular attendants at the local cinemas, theatres and concert venues. When work permits we like to travel with weekends away and longer holidays during the school breaks.
