“I found the newly refurbished apartments surprisingly spacious, and the updated interiors are a definite plus. Details like the new floor tiles and modern furniture create a fresh atmosphere, particularly welcome given the reliably hot water. For a solo traveler, it seemed a reasonably quiet spot.”
