Franklin Apartments was perfect for our 1 night we’d definitely stay again!
Pros:

Perfect location and the staff were professional, polite and extremely helpful :)

Cons:

My bed was a bit odd - it kind of sloped down on one side but as it was only me I slept kind of diagonally so it was fine especially as it was only 1 night!
No bedside light was odd too!

Gute, zentrale Unterkunft
Pros:

Man bekommt das was beschrieben ist.
Es war ein tolles geräumiges Apartment, welches übliche Gebrauchsspuren aufweist, die bei häufigen Gäste wechseln nun mal entstehen.
Die Küche war mit allem ausgestattet was es braucht und auch die Waschmaschine und der Trockener waren eine super Ergänzung.

Cons:

Extremely Rude Receptionist
Pros:

Extremely disappointed with the service here. During check-in on 1/11, the long-haired, dark-complexioned female receptionist was incredibly rude. She showed zero patience while answering our questions and even clicked her tongue (tsked) at us. We were polite the entire time, yet we were treated with such disrespect. This is unacceptable for front-line service staff.

Great location but a little dark in the room due to small windows but would stay again
Pros:

Great location and easy parking.

Cons:

I was very close to the lift so it was very noisy in the mornings when guests were checking out early. Bedroom was at back of the apartment.
