Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited in-room amenities — While the apartments have a kitchen and laundry, some reviewers mention only a microwave, fridge, and oven as the cooking facilities, which may not suit those expecting a full range of cookware.
  • Potential noise from central location — Being in the heart of the city means some street noise could be audible, though this is not explicitly mentioned in reviews.
  • Check-in window may be restrictive — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 21:00, which may be inconvenient for those arriving later without prior arrangements.
  • No pets allowed — Guests travelling with pets cannot bring them, as stated in the policies.
