    Very close to transport, restaurants, cafe's and nightlife but in nice quiet spot. Interior very tastefully done. Very comfortable bed with good quality linens. Same with bathroom towels. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap provided. Nicely equipped kitchen incl Nespresso machine (incl some capsules) and a microwave. Good wifi. Our apartment was not serviced but possible for extra $. Might be inly for towels etc though. We were on the fourth floor and our room was airy and light. Ceiling fans as well as aircon. Big sliding windows open. There was very little to no outside noise coming inside. Check in was quick and property assistant friendly and helpful. Most definitely will stay here again.
