Great location. We had a good walk in the Central City. We stayed at a 2-bedroom apartment and we found everything that we need. The place is clean. The bed is comfortable although some other furnitures are a bit dated. We stayed at the first floor so we had to take our luggage up the stairs. Check in is fast and easy. Overall a pleasant stay.
