The location was good and parking was available.

The room needed a deep clean. I saw cobwebs on the ceiling, and the light shades were dusty. The shower screen was also dirty. It wasn't pleasant.

i appreciated the convenient location near the station. finding chocolate in the fridge was a good surprise. easy check-in and out procedures used door codes sent via text, so keys were not needed. the apartment was quiet , despite its proximity to the main road and clubs.

i noticed a very slight draft coming from the window in the bedroom.

the kitchenette in the room included a microwave and fridge. a full shared kitchen downstairs provided more extensive cooking options. the secure door codes for each room increased my sense of safety , which i welcomed.

The room was really cramped. it was almost impossible to use many of the facility items they provided. I felt really trapped in there. also, the internal folding door to the shower was off its runner at the top. Made it risky to try and close it. the hot water took forever to heat, it was annoying

The location offers short walk to the city center. I found the studio apartment to be well equipped. A TV includes Netflix. I consider it good value.

The internal folding door was off its runner at the top, so it was difficult to close it.
