Absolutely Fantastic Stay!

The room was super clean and very comfortable. I was able to use the kitchen and dining room. I found the breakfast quite nice with granola toast and orange juice available. The location was great for reaching the university in just a ten-minute walk!
The window in the room did not quite close so some road noise was noticeable.
