Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site parking — The property does not list parking facilities, so guests arriving by car will need to arrange their own parking nearby.
- Pets not allowed — The apartments operate a strict no-pets policy, which may be limiting for travellers with animals.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available between 15:30 and 23:59, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals; check-out is at 10:00.
- Street noise possible — While many guests note the location is quiet despite being central, a few mention it's close to nightlife, so some street noise is possible depending on the room.
