Great location, lovely apartment, clean and pleasant. However stay was very uncomfortable due to heating being on full blast and unable to turn off, plus mattress is well overdue replacement and super uncomfortable, so terrible nights sleep. We did mention to the cleaning and reception staff, and it appears that this was not new news!
