The two-bedroom apartment was very spacious and well-designed, with two bathrooms that made it especially convenient. The rooms were clean, modern, and comfortable. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the stay even more enjoyable. While the breakfast was good, it could be improved by offering a wider variety of options for guests who do not eat pork or beef
