central location great apartment size friendly staff lumpy pillows heavy luggage missing tea towel
I REALLY appreciated the central location! I could walk everywhere I needed to go. The apartment size was great and the shower facilities worked WELL. The staff was friendly when I interacted with them .
The pillows felt very lumpy and soft TO ME. I could not get comfortable. Our apartment was only accessible by stairs and there was no lift available, not ideal for my heavy luggage. There was no tea towel in the room, a disappointing discovery.

perfect location spacious room nespresso machine
the location proves perfect for easy walks everywhere. the studio apartment had nespresso machine and bottled water, i liked that. the room appears spacious, and clean. i appreciate the central location, close to attractions.
The room we get was small for the price we paid. parking isnt clearly explained. I had to park far away. it required a long walk with my bags.

significant tear strong mold smell
The location was acceptable and easy enough to find. Accessing the hotel was easy.
I must say, there were issues. The apartment reminded me of it was furnished as cheaply as possible. A sofa had a significant tear in it, with the stuffing exposed!!! The bathroom also had a strong smell of mold.
