The staff were friendly and helpful . My room was spacious. It included a separate living room and a fully functional kitchen. I appreciate the staff's availability.
The hot water took a while to heat up. The room felt a little cold. I mean, it seemed like an apartment. I think the room could use some carpeting to WARM the place up.

the location near the metro was acceptable, with access to many places.
I was frustrated by the noisy, outdated heating system. It blew hot air constantly and really dried out my sinuses. the windows were old too, i could hear every single noise outside. It made it difficult to sleep properly.

i enjoyed the studio queen. it was very spacious with a small kitchen. the kitchen had a generous amount of space. on-site parking was easy with a special winter ratewith a discount on overnight parking.
The antiquated infrastructure caused a slight inconvenience. There was a long wait for hot water. the water pressure in the shower seemed rather low.
