great location helpful staff spacious room needed maintenance messy paintwork falling showerhead
the apartment had a great location. it was very easy to access many shops and restaurants nearby. the room had a lot of space. the staff was helpful .
The apartment showed signs of needing some maintenance. i noticed some paint touch-ups around the sink were a bit messy. the shower head also fell off. It was fixed but continued to fall. one bedroom lacked a mirror, a minor inconvenience.

unbeatable location short walk tour bus discounted parking
the location was unbeatable. it was such a short walk from the train station and very close to shops, bars, and restaurants. the tour bus conveniently stops right outside. i also really liked the promo code to get discounted parking nearby, it was very useful.

The location was REALLY convenient. it made getting around the city MUCH easier. The apartment size was sufficient for my needs, and the kitchen was well-equipped for preparing simple meals. I also appreciated the daily towel service. It was a nice touch.
My room had a SIGNIFICANT amount of street noise. it made it difficult to sleep at times. The elevator was quite slow. It caused some delays during peak hours. ALSO, the bathroom basin was small.
