Appartamento spazioso, con cucina in posizione centralissima
Pros:

Posizione centralissima, tutto il centro storico raggiungibile a piedi. Tanti locali per colazione e pasti proprio accanto e lungo il canale.
Suite molto spaziosa e luminosa, arredata in stile moderno, molto comoda.

Cons:

La nostra suite al primo piano aveva una rampa di scale a chiocciola molto ripida e stretta, davvero faticoso portare le valigie in camera!

Nice location
Pros:

It has a great location in the center of Leiden. The bed was comfortable. The shades in the bedroom completely blackout the room at night.

Cons:

The bathroom needs either a good scrubbing or a fresh coat of partners. Lots of splatter and buildup. The TV in the living area is oddly placed right in the entrance with just a chair. There's so much space by the kitchenette. I feel like a couch would be nice.

fijne ervaring
Pros:

prachtige kamer met voldoende faciliteiten.
alles prima geregeld.
mooie locatie, midden in Leiden.

Cons:

de digitale sleutel werkte niet naar behoren.
deur ging heel slecht open, vaak 4 of 5 pogingen moeten doen, misschien eens naar kijken.
lastig dat er geen tafeltje staat waar je, als je met meerdere personen bent, aan kunt ontbijten.
