This is not really an apartment ...really just a room with kettle and fridge ...only mugs and glasses .no plates or bowls or knives and forks . Room was a double but given to us as a triple ...singe bed pushed in. For 3 people and no zircon it was uncomfortable to sleep and was woken at 2am in morning by fire alarm going off as someone "smoking" in the building
Pros: nice clean room with kitchen. Cons: too small bathroom; no elevator; hotel location
Our room located on the second floor of the building did not resemble the pictures on the site. We arrived early and asked to leave our bags at the desk until we were able to check in. There was no type of baggage storage nor were we given a ticket to retrieve our bags later. They just sat in a corner in the main lobby. I don't believe this is standard practice at any hotel. When we returned to check in, I am not even sure that the lady at the front desk remembered us coming by earlier and did not ask for any type of identification when we retrieved our bags. When we entered the part of the building where the rooms were, the floor at the entrance and the carpeting up the stairs were filth - not a great first impression. There was also a strange odor. We then had issues with our key. I realized that it was very easy to lock yourself out of your room if you jiggled the handle after you close the door - the way you would to check if it is locked, fortunately my friend was inside to let me in. We expected a twin room and were given what appeared to be a double room with a twin bed crammed in. The bathroom is also incredibly small. The room was old and outdated. The pillow was small and flat and my sheets were stained. One bed was pushed dangerously close to the heater which had a sign saying do not block. The room was very dusty. The heater stopped working one night - had to call for help twice. Hotel is not as close to public transport as indicated, especially with luggage.
Had a great time during the day but didn't feel safe going out after dark in that neighborhood.
