The check in process was easy, and the team was very helpful with answering any questions or concerns. After watching the video, finding the parking spot wasn’t an issue. The whole apartment was professionally cleaned, I couldn’t fault it. Kitchen facilities were fantastic, had everything you need from pots, pans, cutting boards. A highlight was a variety of little lunch boxes, ideal to take on the go. The wifi was great and fast. This place also has a washing machine and clothes line which made it very handy if you don’t use a dryer. The bed was very comfortable and warm, with extra blankets.
