The apartment is very cold. I understand the building management control the heat, but only 2 of the 3 radiators work. The kitchen radiator valve is open but no heat. Once we found a space heater (stored in a closet) it got much better.

Great place to stay. It was easy to settle in and relax after a long day of traveling. The bed was comfortable and great to sleep on. Will definitely try for this property again if I need to come to the area.
