PERFECT Apartment Stay!

friendly staff onsite parking apartment cleanliness convenient feature

The reception staff were friendly. I appreciated their late arrival accommodation. On-site parking was a HUGE plus, giving me peace of mind. The apartment's cleanliness stood out. I STREAMED Netflix easily, a convenient feature.

The towels could have been softer. I found them slightly rough against my skin.

The one-bedroom apartment featured a tv in the living area and an ensuite bedroom for added convenience. I really enjoyed the amenities. The kitchen was fully equipped with a kettle and fridge, PERFECT for preparing meals. It provided a comfortable space.

Location

The location offers convenient access to key areas as the university hospital is nearby. The apartment is also within walking distance of the city center. On-site parking is available, secured by a barrier for extra security. THIS is a HUGE advantage.

convenient location near ucc

sunny apartment large windows well-equipped apartment direct bus

I stayed in flat 2 house 5, up one flight of stairs. It was a very spacious and sunny apartment. the main room has two large windows facing the ucc campus. i was attending a conference. The campus gate is directly across the street but closed on saturday. i liked the 19th-century feel of the house, and the apartment was well-equipped. there is a bus stop just outside to the right for a quick ride into the city center. the view at the back was non-descript, but the front view made up for it.

upon check-in, we were allocated an apartment different from the one advertised. the apartment we received was spacious but dated, with older facilities, a small bathroom, and a shower of poor quality. while the staff member was polite, they maintained that this was the apartment i booked and no alternative was available.

while there isn't on-site dining, the apartment's cooking facilities made meal preparation easy. i found several grocery stores within a short walking distance. many restaurants are easily accessible with a brief bus ride.
