Posizione perfetta di fronte all’Università della Svizzera italiana
Pros:

La camera è molto spaziosa, dotata di angolo cottura e di un bagno con doccia ampia e comoda. kit di benvenuto con due docciaschiuma e due asciugamani. L’angolo cottura è fornito del necessario, con alcune pentole e stoviglie utili per cucinare. L’appartamento era pulito e ordinato. Il metodo di check-in è semplice e veloce.
La posizione è davvero eccellente: si trova esattamente di fronte all’Università della Svizzera italiana, comodissimo per chi deve frequentarla.

Cons:

Unica piccola pecca l’isolamento acustico delle stanze, che forse potrebbe essere migliorato.

Niestety ze względu na brak czystości i nieprzyjemny zapach nie wspominamy dobrze tego pobytu.
Pros:

Lokalizacja, łatwość zameldowania.

Cons:

Niestety w pokojach było brudno, nieprzyjemny zapach, ale czego można było się spodziewać po takiej cenie. W łazience mieliśmy zatkany zlew, w pokojach pajęczyny i pająki.
