Value for money
Pros:

The location was good with easy walking to the tram lines. It was clean and comfortable.

Cons:

Although the apartment was very roomy there was no shelf in the shower nor towel racks in the bathroom. It was very hard to store any belongings in the bathroom or in the bedroom due to lack of cupboards.
