average stay with SOME ISSUES

central locationconfusing check-inscarce toiletries
The apartment's central location WAS convenient. for accessing many sites.
I encountered some DISAPPOINTING issues. The check-in process was confusing. I received conflicting information regarding key retrieval. the provided toiletries were scarce, with only one roll of toilet paper and insufficient bath gel. This lack of ATTENTION to detail detracted from the overall experience.
