Disliked: Amenities
There is no parking for this place. The parking that they list on their email is only for permit holders. This greatly reduced my rating. The apartment itself could use a good deep clean. Tons of dust, the couch was covered in stains, the blanket on the couch was very smelly and dirty. The location is okay, far walks and bus rides to everything.

Liked: Room comfort
Good value, some cons
Despite big no smoking sign on the front door place smelled of smoke. Could well be a previous guest's fault.
Messaged the number given about pipping by fir a mislaid bracelet 40 mins post checkout, no reply
Still all good despite given where when and how much

The apartment is very small and a bit far from the center, you need a car or a bus to reach it. The hall is narrow and the bathroom is small, one bedroom is small and barely fits a double bed. There is a hanging bed but it is not equipped and the ladder is broken. The apartment is clean and the kitchen is good but the sheets are worn out. The apartment only fits two people, contrary to what is written that it fits four, but there is no sofa bed, even just a sofa in the hall
