amazing studio apartment!

great locationcute staffeasy bag storagethin walls
The location is just very nice! it was perfect for exploring, near lots of shops and restaurants. the staff at the main hotel were so cute. They were always ready to help with extra towels or anything else we needed! i could leave my bags at the hotel after check-out. It made everything much easier.
the walls seemed a bit thin, i could hear neighbors late at night, a bit disruptive.

Really good Stay

convenient locationextra luggagethin curtain
My studio apartment provided a stove, mini-fridge, and cooking pots with utensils, I noted. An electric kettle accompanied instant coffee. A nearby hotel allowed us to store extra luggage, I observed.
The thin curtain did not block brightness during the night, I discovered. Street noise became noticeable upon opening a window for ventilation. I could hear sounds of upstairs activity.
