Pros:

Great location and clean

Cons:

Limited access to the bed, was warned but didn’t realise how inconvenient it would be when you can only access one side of the bed.

Sinks in room and kitchen missing plugs made washing up a pain and wasted hot water

Voor kort verblijf in orde om te verblijven. 15 minuten lopen naar het centrum

Kleine kamer waar bed onder raam tussen beide muren was ingeklemd. Moet over elkaar klimmen om uit en in bed te komen als je onder het raam ligt

Cons:

Ingeklemd bed.

Loved our stay and will be back again in a month
Pros:

Our room had amazing double height windows that were very cool

Cons:

No power point in the bathroom. Only one mirror in the bathroom - need another one in the bedroom or lounge. But I provided this feedback to the front desk & this is a new apartment so still WIP.
