we only stayed one night we slept well, apartment needs so maintenance done
Pros:

the apartment was quiet well set up and clean beds were comfortable

Cons:

the toilet and bathroom door didn't close properly, the doors were missing screws so they were hanging on by a single hinge, the floor boards creaked evertime a person walled around on the second floor or came down the stairs

Pros:

Great location, clean

Cons:

The room we stayed in had no natural light so felt a little like a prison room and a bit claustrophobic. But we weren’t in the room a lot so it was fine for our stay.
