Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site reception and distant key collection — Guests must collect keys at a separate location, about a 10-minute walk away, which can be difficult with luggage. There is no reception on site.
- Cleanliness can be inconsistent — While many guests found the apartments clean, one review noted the bathroom was not thoroughly cleaned, including a clogged drain and dusty corners.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available from 15:00 to 18:00, which may be restrictive for travellers arriving later in the evening.
- No pets allowed — Pets are not permitted in the apartments, which may be a limitation for those travelling with animals.
