Home truths
Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
There's no real lounge area here and some home comforts are lacking. We think it's best suited to those looking for a base to use when travelling for work.
There's a dedicated desk space here should you need to catch up on work. Your host may be able to provide a printer and scanner on request.
If you are staying for more than seven nights, servicing is provided on a weekly basis. This includes a full change of bed linen, towels and a complete restock of the apartment.
While a car isn't strictly needed here, designated parking is available.
