A nice but small apartment with some limitations; excellent location.
Pros:

Loads of natural light, large windows that opened and balcony with table and chairs appreciated. Ample closet space for clothes, comfortable bed. Refrigerator was useful and table and two chairs by windows made a nice dining/ work space. Excellent location for public transportation use/ nice neighbourhood for walking; close to supermarket and a few eateries, cafés and bars.

Cons:

For a double apartment, the space was on the small side, especially the kitchen where it was very difficult to do even basic food prep. Ok for reheating takeout food but even that was a challenge…microwave oven installed too high…bottom of it was just above my head…5’ 4” tall. I had to use an unsafe bench to stand on to see and reach the controls. A proper foot stool is needed to reach it and the dishes/glasses. A Nespresso machine and kettle barely fit on super tiny counter space. And only 2 coffee pods left for my stay of 6 days…not very generous.
Noisy pub crowd till the wee hours on weekend nights made it hard to fall asleep.

agréable
Pros:

Il y a le nécessaire pour tout, la chambre était agréable et bien équipée. Je disposais de suffisamment de place en revanche il manquait considérablement de prises électriques

Cons:

Nous n'avons pas été informés que nous ne logions pas tous à la même adresse ce qui a compliqué l'arrivée. Certains logeaient au 8 d'autres au dessus du restaurant à 10 minutes a pied. Ce qui nous a ennuyé lorsque le taxi nous a déposé au restaurant.

Na incheck prima
Pros:

Goede ligging, ruime kamer

Cons:

Met iDEAL betalen, wat zij op afstand niet konden zien. Door valutawisseling duurde het bijschrijven langer en werd ik gevraagd nogmaals te betalen

While not “perfect”, it was a great find for us. We would use it again if we have the opportunity and
Pros:

Terrific location; quiet, but convenient to everything we wanted; great water pressure and plentiful hot water.

Cons:

Electrical outlets were few and inconveniently located, for example, no outlet in or near enough to the bathroom to be truly useful.

Consigliato! Bellissima camera, ampia e pulita con cucina!
Pros:

Bellissimo hotel! Lo consiglio! La mia camera singola era molto spaziosa, pulita, con anche un piccolo angolo cottura con tutto il necessario e anche bollitore e macchinetta del caffè (veniva fornite anche capsule e the). Letto molto comodo e ampio, con due comodi cuscini. Bagno grande, con tutti i prodotti necessari e phon. Non c'è la reception, ma lo staff ti fornisce in automatico per sms e su Booking tutte le informazione per il check-in automatico, che si fa da uno schermo digitale nella hall in pochi minuti, pagando direttamente lì dal pos. Lo staff risponde subito per mail in caso di qualche domanda. L'hotel non è proprio in centro, ma quasi, comunque ci passano tanti bus/tram frequentemente che arrivano in centro in 5/10 minuti, comunque la zona è molto tranquilla e sicura.

Cons:

Comodo il deposito bagagli, in una stanza con codice pin per entrare, ma consiglierei se possibile di mettere degli armadietti così da stare più tranquilli che nessuno prenda le proprie valigie (anche se non ho riscontrato nessun problema. La stufa elettrica in camera non funzionava, ma essendo maggio ne ho potuto fare a meno, quindi non è stato un problema per il mio soggiorno.
