Fantastic Location and Friendly Staff!

perfect location friendly staff helpful staff

The location was perfect! It's near the metro station and all the main attractions. The staff were super friendly and always ready to help. I really appreciated the parking at the mall right next to the accommodation.

The sound insulation was not great. I could hear street noise easily. It made it a bit difficult to sleep soundly.

The accommodation provides parking in the mall right next door which is VERY convenient. An elevator is available, providing smooth access to upper floors. I didn't notice any fitness center, but the access to the metro is a PLUS!
