Beautiful apartments, very well equipped. Laundry facilities for guests (that were free) We requested breakfast, which was brought to the room. Absolutely lovely. The ladies couldn’t do enough for you. I left some earrings and the lady posted them to an address where I was going so I could pick them up. Really enjoyed it here, and highly recommend it.
