Ver clean and modern apartments. Beds are super comfortable. Kitchen was adequate. Great downtown location. Walkable to most attractions. Would definitely stay again. Had to walk up steep steps with luggage. A bit noisy at night, due to being on a main street. A little hard to locate- signage could be better.

**There is NO parking on site** You drive around and try to find parking in the city and pay for it each time. We assumed that “parking on site” meant that there is a place to park “on site”. Unfortunately not, and it was hassle each night when we got to the hotel, we had to walk at least a few blocks each way.

I really enjoyed my stay at this studio apartment. As my flight got in early, the manager made sure I had the code to leave my things safely store before having access to the apartment. The unit is close to the city's "main street" and even further activities like the National Museum or the Settlement Museum are in a walkable distance. Perfect!

It's walkable .. The issue is the name of the place is so tiny you cannot easily locate . Also , no communication sent to you via e-mail. If you don't have a roaming phone in that instant you might be sleeping in the street ... I have to ring them as no reception only through phone calll ..

It’s ok for one night

The location is in good proximity to all the major sites and clean. Close to everything you need. The apartment was fine for one night, but I do not recommend this place for families. It’s so small. Noise coming from the street below will keep you up all night. And street parking was difficult to find. Also, it’s on the second floor so be prepared to haul your luggage up the stairs.
