Very nice clean, modern, well equipped and furnished apartment. Way nicer than we had anticipated. Would highly recommend staying here. I really wouldn't change anything except the beds are a little hard and more comfortable mattresses would be nice.

The room we got has no window, it smells very bad when we got into the room. The hotel provides guests dark grey color towels and comforter, you even don’t know whether they are clean or not. We booked two night, but just stayed one night and ran away. We couldn’t sleep in this horrible smells room
