“While its central location is a definite advantage, there appear to be notable trade-offs. The setup resembles more of an Airbnb arrangement than a traditional hotel, impacting the feeling of service and security. For those prioritizing location above all else, and willing to forego standard hotel amenities, it might suffice.”

The location was fantastic, just a short walk to many attractions!!! The room came with a well-equipped kitchenette. It was super convenient. The staff provided clear instructions for entry and key information.
There was no way to lock the balcony door, I felt very unsafe. The email with the room number and access code arrived late, a full 24 hours after I checked in. There was no reception desk, so getting immediate assistance was impossible.

the apartment size worked well for me. it had a small kitchen area. i liked that it included a stovetop and microwave. there was even a dishwasher, a real plus. the location felt really central for exploring.
i found the lack of a front desk somewhat inconvenient. it felt less like a hotel. and more like an apartment rental where i needed to manage everything myself. this required more planning.

I found the location very central. It was easy to walk to many attractions. My room had a lovely balcony too. I had plenty of choice for food nearby.
I noticed the water had a strong sulfur smell. Showers were not pleasant because of the odor. The staff said it is normal. The WiFi did not work at all .
