useful microwavesufficient utensilssmall roomsoft mattress
the kitchen had everything i needed including stovetops and a microwave. i found the coffee maker useful and the refrigerator kept everything cold. i was able to cook meals easily thanks to sufficient utensils.
i asked for two single beds but got a double made from two singles. the room was very small and there was no chance to separate them. the mattress was soft and i had back pain after sleeping on it.

the location was convenient near restaurants and grocery stores.
The check-in process was complicated. The email instructions were unclear. there was no secure link for online registration. the hotel should simplify the check-in requirements.

faulty remotefrayed rug
The check-in process was a mess. I never received the code needed for entry, even though I paid in advance. A phone call revealed I was supposed to send a copy of my passport via email-news to me! I found this out only after arriving past 6 PM. The apartment showed its age. The TV remote did not work, some lights were out, the bathroom rug was frayed, and the bedside table was a slanted plank. The price felt too high given the condition and lack of service.
