    Request a room away from the main road to avoid noise from traffic. quieter options enhance your relaxation and enjoyment of the space.

    helpful staff
    uncomfortable beds
    poor cleanliness

    Great service from staff during check-in.

    The beds were uncomfortable. We couldn't sleep at all. Cleanliness was severely lacking, as the kitchen had dirty placemats and unrefilled toiletries in the bathrooms.

    I was blown away by how roomy my two-bedroom apartment was! The big windows let in so much natural light. And a self-service pantry made it so easy to stock up on snacks for our adventures!

    We loved the design of our apartment, super spacious with a cozy vibe! The self-service pantry was a nice touch for restocking snacks , and the location was perfect, just a short stroll to all attractions. And natural light through the big windows was just what we needed to brighten our days!

    great location but noisy surroundings

    The location was perfect for accessing local attractions. The studio apartment was clean and well-equipped with useful amenities.

    The noise from the street was noticeable at night.

    bright apartment
    amazing views
    soft bed

    The apartment was really bright with amazing views from every room, which made mornings so nice. I loved having a relaxing pool and a cozy lounge area to unwind after a day of exploring. The bed was a bit too soft for me, but overall, it didn't ruin my experience. 😊

    garden access
    street noise
    water pressure

    Private garden access, ample natural light, convenient self-service pantry

    The noise level from the street is unbearable!!! The lack of soundproofing totally ruins any chance of a peaceful night. Low water pressure in the shower is not fun!!! A proper maintenance check would do wonders here!!!

    clean apartment
    lovely view
    disruptive noise
    unclear instructions
    limited dining

    The apartment was spacious and clean. It was well-located, just two minutes from the bus station. The noise from the nearby road was disruptive at night, affecting sleep quality, and the access instructions could be improved for clarity. Dining options seemed limited for classic American dishes, a downside for us.

    great location
    helpful staff
    full amenities
    weak wi-fi

    Awesome stay with great perks!

    We had a fab 2-night getaway in a one-bedroom apartment with the garden view. The staff were super nice. Loved that they provided all the essentials like towels and soaps. The location was perfect for exploring the city. Just wish the Wi-Fi was a bit stronger sometimes.
