The apartment was spotless, modern, and very well equipped — everything felt fresh and newly renovated. We loved the quiet location, yet it was still close to the center, with the metro just a short walk away and even direct bus connections to downtown. St. Paul’s Cathedral and other sights were within easy walking distance too. The check-in process was smooth, and being able to collect the keys at night without any extra charge was a big plus. The space was comfortable and spacious for our stay. Overall, we felt very comfortable here and would happily recommend it for a city stay.
