“Definitely worth it! Would highly recommend.”
A spacious apartment. It was comfortable and very clean. Very private and good value for money. Close to all the necessities. Felt very safe because it was located in a quiet, decent neighbourhood. Secured parking.

I booked for two people two rooms. I received a room with one double bed. And a sleeper couch. My colleague had to sleep on the couch. Photos are misleading and are not a true reflection of the property. Room needs much needed maintenance.

The apartment is comfortable and spotlessly clean. The beds are comfortable and the pillows are great.

Uncomfortable stay because of no running hot water, in the shower at night and in the morning...Also very confusing that we received an unapologetic response from who I'm assuming is one of the owners.
