“The central location is a real advantage here; surprisingly, the experience leans toward a well-equipped apartment rather than a traditional hotel, and that informality might especially suit independent travellers. The keypad access adds a layer of privacy, though be prepared for limited on-site assistance and plan for luggage storage. Ultimately, it's a trade-off between cost savings and the full-service experience.”

mixed feelings about this apartment

central locationsecurity hazardbalcony door
the location was central, near shops and restaurants.
This is not a hotel because there is no reception desk. someone opened our door twice without knocking. It seemed like a security and privacy hazard. also, there was no way to lock the balcony door.

adequate but with issues

central locationstreet noisedamp smell
the location was central, and i could walk to most attractions.
the room felt smaller than expected. the noise from the street was significant at night, and the thin curtains did little to block the early morning light. the bathroom lacked proper ventilation resulting in a damp smell.
