Lots of choices for food nearby. The only downside of our whole experience was that it took about 10 minutes to find the concierge both on the first evening when we checked in and also on the day we checked out.

Great location. However, heating didn't work and the property was cold, and there was no response to messages about this. Moreover, while the rest of the flat was clean, there were giant very visible dust balls in the AC grills in the middle of the living room.
The room is great. However, when I tried to check out, there was nobody at the front deck till almost 8:30am. I had to wait for half hour till somebody showed up to receive the keys. I imagine if you need to catch early flight or train, you may be in trouble for that.
