This apartment is a very basic rental unit – – had what we needed for our three nights stay, and we were very pleased. Great value for the money.

This stay was very pleasant. The place was clean and the area safe. They provided two towel sets, dishware set, pans, utensils, cups, mugs, and coffee. Also a travel crib. I will definitely be back to show my littles the city. The apartment is located on the third floor. However the elevator is out of service. So if you’re handicapped I would not recommend this place. We however didn’t mind the haul upstairs three flights. It was very short and very few steps. We had packed light as we only stayed a weekend. Uber rides took only 10-20mins to the city and anyway we needed to go. I will most definitely be booking again. We had a blast for our anniversary!
