Liked: Cleanliness
Room was clean and presented well, parking was a bit random but adequate. The wall air conditioner was faulty and when reported there was no effort of a alternative solotion other than it would be reported to maintainence. Maintainence seemed to be an issue as the window winder was nearly unscrewed. On the positive, the location was great, the price was good, the shower head was awsome for a water saver and the place was clean.

We really enjoyed our stay. Our apartment had lots of room and recently renovated. Everything you could need was included. Our only criticism is that in the terrific shower, the tiles are slippery when wet and there is no shower mat. Also a rail to hang on to with slippery tiles is a must.
