amazing apartment! can't wait to come back!
nice location easy parking helpful staff
i totally loved the location. it was easy to park. and getting to all the cool local spots was super easy! the price for a two bedroom flat with a lounge, kitchen, and bathroom was pretty good. staff members were so helpful. it was such a relief
the main door frame was broken and i couldn't lock it, so anyone could have just walked in. i felt a little unsafe.

The apartment was well-equipped. I could prepare meals. though only three mugs, it was adequate. surfaces in the kitchen had crumbs, but i could clean it easily. the kitchen lacked a tea towel.
