Reviews

  • James from Australia (9/10)

    Central location, easy to walk to most places. Keysafe check in made it easy, especially given my flight in was significantly delayed so my arrival to the property was several hours later than originally planned.
    Kitchenette made it easy to have a few meals at my accomodation during my stay. I would definitely stay here again

  • Giulia from Italy (8/10)
