amazing stay!

I really liked the central location. All the important spots were just a short walk away. the hosts were really friendly and helpful. They even gave us directions to free parking, a great option even if it needed a tram ride. the room was more like an apartment. It included two rooms and two toilets.

i noticed the bathroom lighting wasn't great, and the shower felt a bit outdated.

Mixed Experience Due to Maintenance Issues

The location was quite central, a definite advantage.

The bathroom lighting was inadequate. It made preparing in the morning difficult. I noticed black mold in the shower corners. Maintenance is clearly lacking. The bed reminded me of two singles pushed together, not comfortable.
