Fantastic Stay in a Central Location

easy accessnicely appointed kitchengreat bonusearly bag drop
The apartment was easy to access. I found the kitchen and bathroom nicely appointed. The washing machine was a great bonus. The location was central and made exploring quite easy. We were able to drop off our bags early which really helped us.
The street outside was being resurfaced, so access with suitcases was a bit difficult.
