9/10 Wonderful! (328 reviews)
Peter was very helpful. We had lots of space for our things and us — two bedrooms with a double/queen size bed in each, one bathroom, a walk-in closet, a kitchen, dining table, and living area. It would have been nice to have a little more storage in the bathroom and to have some Kleenex. The building is located within walking distance of many eateries and the city center. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.
