Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We had a great three-day stay at this apartment. The location is excellent—very convenient and well-situated for exploring the area. The unit itself was clean and well-maintained, and it offered good amenities that made the stay comfortable overall.One downside was the couch, which is not suitable for an adult to sleep on. If the listing is intended for more than two guests, this could be improved.Overall, a solid choice, especially for its location and cleanliness.
