Simple Accommodation With Great Amenities

equipped kitchentram stationuseful stovetopquick response
My stay included a well-equipped kitchen. It had everything necessary. The location was near the tram, I found that very useful. The provided stovetop and microwave helped me prepare my own meals. Staff responded quickly to any questions I had.
The email required check-in registration 24 hours before arrival. A secure link was missing, this was slightly inconvenient.

I found a convenient kitchen with an oven, microwave, and stove. It included enough dishes for several days, very helpful. The room included a fridge. A tram station and shopping center were quite close to the building.
The double bed was actually two single beds put together and they kept separating.
