Really good Stay, Super clean and Spacious

ample space organized system

The apartment size was a pleasant surprise. It was like an apartment one could easily live in. The check-in and check-out system was nicely organized. I found it thoughtful that they provided a discount for the nearest parking.

I noticed only two clothes hangers for two travelers. The kitchen had only two drinking glasses in the cupboard. I also couldn't find paper towels or napkins available in the kitchen, a bit inconvenient.

the location was good with easy access to parking.

the apartment showed some issues. there was a distinct sewage smell emanating from the bathroom, requiring us to keep the door shut to contain it. this issue permeated the entire apartment after the air freshener wore off.. also, the apartment was on the ground floor with frosted windows. it felt a bit like a dungeon.
