mixed experience due to noise and cleanliness
central locationstreet noisedirty towels
the location was quite central and provided easy access to many nearby attractions.
the noise from the street was excessive (even with earplugs provided). the apartment smelled of fish, not only in the living room and kitchen area, but also in the bedroom. staff moved me to another apartment, but it had black hairs on the fresh towels, along with a woodlouse on the floor. the chain lock on the door was broken, and there were marks on the walls.
