Convenient and well-equipped

equipped kitchenpublic transportmodern building

I appreciated the fully equipped kitchen. It was a bonus. The location was great near public transport. The modern building and apartment were clean with excellent facilities.

The air conditioner didn't work the first night and it was very hot and uncomfortable. I wasn't told until the next day that there was an after hours number with someone on site. it took all the next day to fix the air conditioner. It was an issue on the whole floor.
