The apartment had 2 bedrooms - one with twin bed and the other double.
We visited in March and the weather was cold due to the storm - it took quite a while to warm up the apartment - as there were only a/c units in bedrooms and one in lounge to heat.
Kitchen has all basic needs - however for 4 adults - I did find it odd (and a little bit cheap) that we were only supplied with 3 coffee pods - when we were staying for 4 nights.
Another thing to note - is the bedrooms are next to road - so bring earplugs as you will be woken /kept awake either by the traffic or the neighbours many dogs who barked like crazy every morning - so gone was any chance of a lay-in.
