clean room in-room kitchen
The room was clean. I also appreciated the in-room kitchen and the included washer and dryer. I found it convenient to have these amenities . It certainly simplified my stay..
I noted the absence of coat hooks in the room, which would have been useful. This small addition would improve the overall functionality of the space.

reasonable stay

convenient location train station fully equipped apartment washing machine faulty door apartment worn carpets stairs delayed access entrance
The location was near the train station. The apartment had everything needed for a several days stay. A washing machine and an oven were amenities i appreciated.
The apartment door would not close properly unless slammed very hard. Sometimes at night i had to wait several minutes for someone to open the front door to enter the building. The carpets on the stairs are all worn.

Acceptable, but Some Issues

inoperative dryer poor response
The in-room washer and dryer was INOPERATIVE. I reported it to the front desk. A technician came the next day and confirmed the dryer did not work. I expected more than a simple apology. Clothes had to be hung all over the room to dry.
