We loved the cleanliness of the shared facilities, and the kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to cook our meals. The staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help, the location was ideal for exploring nearby attractions, and the vibe in the common areas was relaxed yet social. Plus, the live music at the bar created a fantastic atmosphere for a night out.
