some issues with room quality and noise
thin dooruneven floor
the room i had wasn't great. the furniture looked pretty old. i also noticed the bathroom floor seemed uneven. to make matters worse, the front door was so thin i could hear everything from the hallway at night. it's annoying, especially when you're trying to sleep and can hear every conversation. it seems like the soundproofing could be better.

acceptable locationleaking toiletconstant street noise
I suppose the location was acceptable. It was near some shops.
the toilet leaked pretty badly. also, the noise from the street was constant. it sounded like a competition of who could rev their engine the loudest. it was impossible to get any rest at all.

Really good Apartment Stay
comfortable bedsclean apartmentample spaceperfect location
The beds and pillows provided were comfortable. The apartment was spotlessly clean upon arrival. We had ample space within the unit. The location provided easy access to many points of interest. (I found the supermarket nearby very useful.)
The provided towels felt a bit thin and could perhaps use replacement.

The front desk staff offered excellent assistance and provided valuable recommendations for local attractions. The team was friendly, helpful, and always available.
