Spacious studio, with a very comfy bed, well stocked kitchenette and a good shower. Great central location that is perfect for a visit to the central city. Airport Express stops very close by for a quick easy ride. Sound wise… never heard a thing despite being in the thick of it all…. Perfect visit!
