Like a home away from home
Very convenient location 2 minutes away from the metro station and bus stop. Quite close to most tourist attractions by public transport.
Clean, well-maintained, fully furnished apartment with kitchenette. Clean bed, sheets, towels and bathroom.
Nice private terrace adjoining the apartment.
Good value for money.
Good communication with the agency who rent out this apartment. All our practical questions were answered promptly by WhatsApp. We received a lot of useful links to relevant information.
Only thing which could have been better was if the towels and sheets could have been changed during our one-week's stay.
