spacious bathroommodern appliances
i found the bathroom had a spacious layout and lots of light. there were plenty of towels and toiletries available, i think that is important. the kitchen had modern appliances including a large refrigerator and a microwave. it made preparing meals really easy!
The hallway carpets showed a few stains. This impacted the initial impression slightly.
