The room was very clean and well maintained. I love the modern look to it. The host provided detailed check in instructions which were super helpful to find. The location is very convenient and it was an easy walk to all the attractions. We truly enjoyed the stay.
Cheating Cheating Cheating- Please stay away from getting cheated and trapped by all lies of their fake advertising and pictures. I reserved for 3 People and the third bed was only 10 centimeters above the floor. Their advertisement indicated the apartment is few steps down and I discovered it was a basement apartment 25 steps down without access by elevator. I told them I have a knee surgery and I can’t use stairs , but they did not even listen and ignored all my complaints. They provided polyester linen and blocked me until I reached to Expedia and barely provided me only 2 cotton sheets after 2 days
