The apartment I rented had cooking facilities. It also had two fridges! The staff was friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was excellent with many options.
The car park cost an extra charge. The walk to and from it at night did not feel very safe. It was also quite dark. The car park is a 5 min walk from the hotel which is unconvenient.

I appreciated the location, it was very central and within walking distance of main areas. the street had restaurants! the front desk location is unusual. You squeeze luggage through an outdoor restaurant without hitting patrons.
The apartment i stayed in was on the fourth floor without an elevator. It was a little inconvenient
