Pros:

Easy access. Comfortable for everyone. Very friendly staff, shoutout to Rami the receptionist, good help. 🙏🏻

Cons:

My parents mostly wanted that there would be kitchen utensils. Some inconveniences like missing garbage cans and stuff like that. I don’t know if the property has something to do with it but theres this sewer smell in some areas. Other than that, everything was pretty good. I would come again 🙏🏻
