Close to the main attractions and walkable. The 2. Bedroom apartment felt a bit small and the powder room /toilet is really cramped.

8.8/10 Excellent! (381 reviews)

I loved the location of the property and the ease of checking in. It would be good to have a full length mirror in a position in the room where you can see the entire body to help getting dressed. The current mirrors are placed in a part of the room where you can not see yourself. Also, the key card access point is hard to find when entering the room due to complete darkness. A small fluorescent light would help. There were spider webs in multiple locations around the room including the bathroom above the towel rack.
